Improved Muni Service Begins August 17

From the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority (SFMTA): 

In recent months, some of our busiest routes were so crowded that they were too full to accept more riders. This forced Muni buses to pass up waiting riders – especially during morning commute times. To avoid pass-ups, we are making a few changes as the school year approaches:

• 48 Quintara-24th Street and 28R 19th Avenue Rapid: more buses in the morning. 
  We're adding a weekday morning trip to both the 48 Quintara-24th Street and the 28R 19th Avenue Rapid routes. There will be an additional bus to serve riders on both routes during the morning school commute time.
   
• 9 San Bruno: more room for riders. 
  On weekends, we're increasing the size of buses that serve the 9 San Bruno Route. Now, vehicles will be 60-feet long.
   
• 1 California: new schedule to reduce crowding on the route’s busiest stretch. 
  We're adjusting weekday service on the 1 California to reduce crowding on the busiest portion of the route. That section runs between Clay and Drumm streets and Presidio Avenue and California Street.
  • On this stretch of the route, buses will now arrive every 5 minutes instead of every 6 minutes.
  • As a result, there will be a slight decrease in service for stops that are west of Presidio Avenue. Buses will arrive at these stops every 10 minutes on weekdays. With these changes, we expect riders to see fewer bunches and gaps. That’s when no bus comes for a while and then a couple come all at once.
