San Francisco Transbay Transit Terminal or Transbay Terminal, was a transportation complex in San Francisco, California, USA, roughly in the center of the rectangle bounded north–south by Mission Street and Howard Street, and east–west by Beale Street and 2nd Street. It served long-distance buses and transbay buses from San Francisco north to Marin County, east to the East Bay, and south to San Mateo County.
It closed on August 7, 2010, to make way for the construction of the replacement facility, the Transbay Transit Center, and associated towers. All long-distance and transbay bus operations were transferred to the Temporary Transbay Terminal at the nearby block bounded by Main, Folsom, Beale, and Howard Streets.
The new Transbay Transit Center broke ground on August 11, 2010. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom attended the ceremony. The new transit center is scheduled to be completed in August 2017. Demolition and construction activity can be viewed live on Dropcam.

I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
