What to do
1. Check if you need to charter the vehicle
You must charter the vehicle if you plan to film on board the vehicle, not from the sidewalk. Crew size does not affect the requirement or the cost.
SFMTA-operated vehicles include:
- Cable cars
- Historic street cars
- Muni buses
- Trolleys
- Light rail vehicles (LRV)
2. Fill out the SFMTA-Muni request form
Attach the request to your film permit application.
Special cases
Traffic control on Muni lines
Traffic control on Muni lines
If your filming area will impact Muni service on the street, an SFMTA inspector will be needed to do traffic control. We can work with you to see if you need this.
