Traffic? What traffic?
Metallica fans by the thousands flooded Chase Center arena’s opening night, Friday, but few found themselves stuck in bumper-to-bumper madness.
Instead, an estimated 16,000 concert-goers seemingly got the message: Don’t drive near the arena.
They rode gliding Muni trains. They head-banged aboard swift-moving bus shuttles. They crested waves aboard ferries. They pedaled atop bikes. They canoodled romantically in pedicab carriages. They zoomed on e-scooters.
