The SFMTA is conducting a pilot project to test Muni and Taxi Only Lanes along three blocks of Church Street between 16th Street and Duboce Avenue. This proposal aims to reduce delays and improve service reliability for Muni’s J Church trains and 22 Fillmore buses by allowing Muni vehicles to bypass traffic congestion and access transit stops more quickly. 
Until further notice, all J trains and outbound 22 buses will stop at the boarding islands in this corridor. Inbound 22 buses will also stop at the boarding islands in this area except for at Duboce, where they will stop at the curb. In addition, left turns are restricted from Church Street at 15th and 16th streets during weekday daytime hours (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.) This proposal is a component of the Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP), a comprehensive effort to improve reliability and provide quicker trips for Muni customers.
