ONGOING: Supporting Trips to School and Work:
Muni Service Changes Started on Aug. 30, 2025
The SFMTA is changing Muni service on a few routes later this month to make it even easier to get to school and work in the morning. These changes are based on direct feedback from riders and operators. These changes aim to improve your Muni experience. They address weekday crowding on routes used by students, express service for downtown commuters and connections to regional transit is expanding.
Weekday changes begin Tuesday, Sept. 2. The SFMTA is reallocating resources without raising costs. That means the SFMTA is making Muni schedules more efficient while saving money. Here’s what’s changing and why:
Starting Tuesday, Sept. 2, the 7:15 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. trips will return to the 1X California Express. The 30X Marina Express will also add a new morning run at 8:15 a.m. If you ride the 49 Van Ness-Mission, there will be more buses during the busiest part of the morning. Schedules will be adjusted to improve the 8 Bayshore and 29 Sunset in the evening peak. This is because students rely on the 8 Bayshore, 29 Sunset and 49 Van Ness/Mission for their trips to school.
There will also be a few Muni stop changes based on feedback and ongoing construction. These updates will not cost more. The SFMTA is just reallocating existing resources to where they are needed most.
