Muni service changes starting June 10 for summer

(SAN FRANCISCO) The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has launched a summer Muni service starting on June 10 by adding services on several routes to meet the needs of increased summer tourism.

According to SFMTA, the summer service has made changes on eight muni lines to address crowding and wait times and to support increased summer tourism. Some changes of the bus stop locations on two bus lines have been introduced to serve more customers and make service more accessible and reliable.

"These service changes prioritize supporting the city’s economic recovery and matching Muni service more closely to the needs of riders and their communities. We are working to build back our ridership by providing high-quality, reliable service that people can count on and riders are noticing!" SFMTA stated.

There are 8 bus lines that would have the services changed.

1. 30-Stockton extends the evening service to the Presidio seven days a week. The last trip from the Presidio departs from the Sports Basement stop at 8:30 p.m. instead of 8 p.m.

2. 38R-Geary Rapid increases service to address crowding on weekdays. Frequency will increase from every 7 minutes to every 6 minutes all day.

3. 1-California adds one “short line pattern” back to service between Clay and Drumm streets and California Street and Presidio Avenue on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. This adds service where demand is highest.

4. 1X-California Express starts earlier at 7:15 a.m. instead of 8 am, in response to customer feedback. Frequency will also increase from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes in response to customer demand. The express line will also now serve more stops at Cherry, Spruce and Laurel streets and at Presidio Avenue.

5. 5-Fulton Owl extends the route from McAllister and Jones streets to 4th and Market streets, which will provide a connection to Market Street for riders.
