Service Improvements to Reduce Crowding

Muni Service Changes by Route
Route Type of Service Change Start Time & Date Service Change Summary
1 California Type of Service Change Service frequency increase Start Time & Date Start of service, Monday, August 19 Service Change Summary
  • Weekday service will increase to reduce crowding on the busiest portion of the route. That section runs between Clay & Drumm streets and Presidio Avenue & California Street. On this stretch of the route, buses will now arrive every 5 minutes instead of every 6 minutes.
  • As a result of this service increase, there will be a decrease in service for stops that are west of Presidio Avenue. Buses will arrive at these stops every 10 minutes on weekdays. We expect riders to see a reduction in bus bunching and service gaps.
