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.
