We're celebrating 10 years of Muni Forward! Pick up a limited-edition Muni Forward Passport at a Transit Month event or participating business while supplies last during the month of September 2024. Use the passport to explore ten of Muni Forward’s project corridors, including the 14 Mission.
The 14 Mission and 14R Mission Rapid run along San Francisco’s longest street and Muni’s highest ridership bus corridor — picking up nearly 46,000 passengers every day and carrying them from the Ferry Building through the Mission and Excelsior districts all the way to Daly City. Along the way, they passes the skyscrapers of downtown, bustling cultural hubs, and residential neighborhoods.
Thanks to improvements made through Muni Forward starting in 2016 and continuing to today, the route is now safer for people walking, more efficient for Muni riders and is getting people where they need to go with greater efficiency. Muni has made a series of improvements on Mission Street in SoMa, the Mission District and the Excelsior, and work is underway through the Mission/Geneva Safety Project with features such as transit lanes, transit signal priority, transit bulbs, pedestrian bulbs, and other enhancements to transit reliability and safety.
As a result, ridership on the 14 Mission is up to 90% of pre-pandemic ridership and 14R Mission Rapid is up to 118% of pre-pandemic ridership as of July 2024. Travel times are up to 31% faster in SoMa, with a 9% reduction in travel time across the entire 14 Misson line compared to 2015. Pedestrian injury collisions decreased by 23% on Mission Street in the Mission after safety improvements were implemented.
Building on this success, construction is underway now on the next set of improvements in the Excelsior, as part of the Mission / Geneva Safety Project.
