Muni Service Changes
Multiple Muni lines will need to be rerouted around the main conference security zone in SoMa from Nov. 13-19. The SFMTA developed reroutes to maintain as many connections as possible. Riders should be prepared to adjust travel and to allow more travel time. We understand that these changes will present some challenges and we appreciate your support and patience.
Cable car and Muni Metro service will be significantly impacted during this period as well.
Note: Vehicle predictions and third-party navigation apps may not display information properly during this period. We advise anyone traveling through San Francisco to allow ample extra time for travel and to be prepared for delays.
