SFMTA Updates Muni Service Plan for Wednesday PM Commute
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which manages transportation in the city, including the Municipal Railway (Muni), has announced an updated Muni service plan for Wednesday afternoon’s commute to accommodate a large decrease in the availability of operators for light rail vehicles. The agency continues to advise customers of ongoing delays and missing service as the third day of the sickout continues.
Customers should continue to monitor media news outlets and real-time Muni updates for information about service. For real-time Muni updates during the week, 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., follow us on www.twitter.com/sfmta_muni or sign up for e-mail or text alerts at www.sfmta.com.
BART is still accepting customers with a valid Muni proof of payment between Daly City and Embarcadero stations. Muni customers are advised to go to the BART Station Agent gate to request entrance to the BART system rather than tagging their Clipper card.
Muni Service
All routes and lines continue to experience missed and delayed service. Customers should expect crowding and waits of up to 60 minutes. Some routes may be turned back mid route to help minimize crowding. Announcements will be made via NextBus, on vehicles or in Metro stations.
