Muni Service Changes
Some routes will switchback--changing from inbound to outbound--before they reach Market Street. Some routes will operate on Mission Street instead. Most routes that cross Market Street will be rerouted around the event areas. Reroutes start at different times, but all service will return to normal once Market Street is clear.
