Map

In Subway Builder, the San Francisco map incorporates the entirety of the Bay Area in its buildable area. San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties are fully included, as well as a large portion of Santa Clara county (incorporating all of the city of San Jose) and smaller portions of Marin (as far north as St Vincent) and Napa/Solano counties (communities of Vallejo, American Canyon and Benicia). The map represents the entire Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Caltrain service areas and beyond.

The majority of jobs are concentrated in San Francisco's Financial District, with other dense clusters in downtown Oakland, downtown San Jose, and the Silicon Valley (including one large node at Apple Park). The region also boasts three major airports (SFO, OAK, SJC) and several large college and university campuses including UC Berkeley, SFSU, UCSF, SJSU, and Stanford University.
