These are the 17 Muni lines still in service
San Francisco's Muni transportation agency is operating with skeleton service as San Francisco residents stay home under a shelter-in-place order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. While ridership is down significantly, bus operators still serve approximately 100,000 passengers a day, Muni said in a statement.
This week, Muni is temporarily suspending some lines to prioritize "routes in most critical need during the pandemic." On Tuesday the following seven routes with low ridership will be discontinued: 2 Clement, 3 Jackson, 5 Fulton, 7 Haight, 10 Townsend, 21 Hayes and 31 Balboa.
On Wednesday, service will be further reduced and only the following 17 lines will continue to operate:
- N Judah Bus
- L Taraval Bus
- T Third Bus
- 1 California
- 8 Bayshore
- 9 San Bruno
- 14 Mission
- 14R Mission Rapid
- 19 Polk
- 22 Fillmore
- 24 Divisadero
- 25 Treasure Island
- 29 Sunset
- 38 Geary
- 38R Geary Rapid
- 44 O’Shaughnessy
- 49 Van Ness/Mission
Muni has already cut all underground trains and replaced them with buses and eliminated many other bus lines including the usually-busy routes 5R, 9R, 28R and 38R.
