To try to ease the travel rush, Outside Lands is offering additional MUNI service throughout the festival, with additional buses along the 5R Fulton bus north of Golden Gate Park and more service along the N streetcar line -Judah in the south of the park. However, despite these additional reinforcements, other bus routes such as the 38 Geary were overwhelmed shortly after the festival began.
Cycling is the easiest way to get to and from the festival, and Outside Lands offers extensive bike parking near the entrances.

If you ventured to use a carrier after the festival, special pickup zones a few blocks off Fulton and Judah tried to reduce the logistical burden, but even so, you were likely in for some serious sticker shock.
Until 9 p.m. around, prices remained fairly reasonable by 2022 standards, with a short trip to the Lower Haight costing about $20 and a trip to Oakland costing $45.
However, as headliners SZA, Phoebe Bridgers and Disclosure hit the road at 10 p.m., prices skyrocketed, with the same 4-mile Lower Haight trip costing $62 and Oakland reaching $140. A ride to North Beach approached $80. and the cost of trips to more distant San Francisco neighborhoods like Mission Bay or Glen Park reached nearly triple digits, topping $90.

So if you’re planning on hanging out the next few nights, it might be best to skip this headliner’s encore, unfortunately.
