Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

As this year's venue is not located in downtown San Francisco, con-goers will find getting to Japantown and other areas of interest a bit more of a challenge. However, we aren't leaving you out in the cold....

MUNI

For travel within downtown San Francisco, nothing beats the convenience and flexibility of MUNI, the San Francisco Municipal Railway. MUNI provides bus and cable car transportation throughout the city and is an affordable alternative to the higher cost of taxicabs or private vehicles (especially with regard to parking -- it's outrageously high in the downtown area!).

You may purchase advance passes to all MUNI vehicles via the San Francisco Convention & Visitors' Bureau, some that also include BART and tour accessibility.
