After leaving Gilroy Saturday morning, 2.15.2020, it was not too long of a drive to San Francisco.
Heading north on the 101; I think this is in Morgan Hill, south of San Jose.

We arrived too early to check into our hotel near the Castro, so we left the car there (which they were nice enough to let us do) and headed towards the MUNI Castro Station, where we loaded up our Clipper cards with 3-day passes, to take public transportation around the city.

Since the end of January of this year, Market Street has been closed to private cars from about Van Ness all the way east to downtown SF. Only cyclists, transit, paratransit, emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, and taxis (no Uber and Lyft) are allowed on the street. I think it's really great! Less chaotic, and transit vehicles are not slowed down.

Errant driver didn't see the signs prohibiting private vehicles. Lucky for him a cop wasn't there, he would have gotten ticketed.
