Riders will then be able to transfer at Market Street to get to their destination where Muni buses will provide service about every three to four minutes.

Once a passenger on board a Muni bus or train, there will be two hours to make free transfers to any other Muni vehicle.
- On weekdays, the 5 Fulton route will turn around to go back outbound at McAllister and Market streets. Riders can easily locate transfer locations near Market Street at the SFMTA.com/5Transfer webpage.

Stop Changes to Improve Safety and Access
Starting Saturday, June 21, the SFMTA will also make changes to some bus stops. These changes are not connected to the agency’s budget shortfall. They are part of the agency’s ongoing work to help make Muni safer and more reliable.
9 San Bruno
- The outbound stop at 228 Bayshore will move to the intersection at Costa Street. This moves the bus stop further away from where multiple lanes of traffic merge to improve safety.
15 Bayview-Hunters Point Express
- The outbound stop at 4th & Berry streets will move to 4th & Townsend streets to avoid conflicts with the right-turning traffic onto Berry Street.
- New stops will be added in both directions on Hudson at Newhall streets. This will bring riders closer to the Third Street corridor and nearby homes.
18 46th Avenue
- The inbound stop on Lincoln Way and Great Highway will be relocated to the near side of the intersection as part of the Great Highway closure to improve access.
28 19th Avenue and 28R 19th Avenue Rapid
- A new stop for the 28 19th Avenue Rapid route will be added at 19th Avenue and Lincoln Way. This will help more riders enjoy quicker trips on the 28R 19th Avenue Rapid and decrease crowding on the 28 19th Avenue.
33 Ashbury-18th Street
- The inbound stop at Clayton and Carmel streets will be relocated to the far side of the intersection. This will help to reduce conflicts with lane merging and improve safety.
43 Masonic
- The outbound stops at Naples and Rolph streets and at Naples Street and Geneva Avenue will be relocated to one stop at Naples Street at Rolph Street, near side. This will help improve safety for riders.
- The outbound stops at Curtis and Prague streets and at Prague and Drake streets will be relocated to one stop on Curtis Street at Prague Street, far side. This will be at a sidewalk with a level curb, improving safety for riders boarding.
- The inbound stop at Lombard and Lyon streets will be moved to the near side of the intersection. This will help improve accessibility.
44 O’Shaughnessy, 52 Excelsior
- The Still and Lyell Streets stop for both routes will be relocated to the near side of the crosswalk to improve stop visibility.
48 Quintara/24th Street
- The by-request segment of the route that serves Hoffman Street will be removed. Removing this optional section of the route will improve reliability and travel times on the remainder of the route.
- A new outbound stop will be added at Clipper and Diamond streets. This will facilitate transfers to the 35 Eureka route, which serves the Hoffman area.
54 Felton
- The outbound stop at Hudson Avenue and Ardath Court will be relocated to the south by approximately 75 feet for better boarding access.
57 Parkmerced
- Stops in the Stonestown Mall area will be relocated:
- The outbound stops at 20th Avenue and Buckingham Way and at 20th Avenue and Stonestown Mall will be relocated to a mid-point between the two in front of the Whole Foods Market. This will help to improve reliability and reduce travel times.
- The inbound stop on 20th Avenue north of Buckingham Way will be removed to improve reliability and travel times. The stop on 20th Avenue south of Buckingham Way is just a two-minute walk from this stop.
67 Bernal Heights
- The outbound direction will be rerouted so that it stays on Folsom Street between Ripley Street and Bernal Heights Boulevard. This reroute will avoid tight turns and will improve safety. As part of the reroute:
- The outbound stop on Ripley and Alabama streets will be discontinued.
- The outbound stop on Ripley and Folsom streets will be relocated to Folsom and Ripley streets.
- The outbound stop at Bradford Street and Bernal Heights Boulevard will be relocated to Bernal Heights Boulevard and Bradford Street.
