All hours of service

Event Summary

Beginning February 26 through March 14, the Central Subway tunnel will be closed while crews work to resolve water intrusion issues at Chinatown-Rose Pak Station. As there are no crossover tracks to turn the trains around at Union Square/Powell station, the water mitigation work will require us to temporarily close the Central Subway tunnel between Chinatown-Rose Pak and 4th/Brannan stations.

Muni Service Changes

During the tunnel closure, Muni will interline the K Ingleside and T Third Street lines via the Market Street Subway between Balboa Park Station and Bayshore Boulevard & Sunnydale Avenue. T Bus shuttle service will be provided for riders in both directions between Chinatown-Rose Pak Station and 4th & King. Riders may transfer from the T Bus shuttles to a KT train at 4th & King. Visit the KT: K Ingleside-T Third Street route page for details on this temporary service, including frequency and stop locations.

Additionally, riders may use the 30 Stockton or 45 Union/Stockton routes between the regular 30 & 45 terminal at Townsend & Lusk and Stockton & Washington (surface stop nearest Chinatown-Rose Pak Station).
