Muni Service Changes: Effective February 14, 2026

Beginning on February 14, we will be closing our Potrero Yard to begin the work to replace it with a modern bus maintenance facility through the Potrero Yard Modernization Project. As a result of this yard closure, we’ll need to move existing bus operations and maintenance work from Potrero Yard to other facilities. That’s a major, complex effort, and we’re busy making sure this transition is as smooth as possible for SFMTA staff and our riders. For more information on how a new bus maintenance facility will improve your rides on Muni please visit our blog post about the upcoming Potrero Yard closure. Continue reading below for details on the service changes that will go into effect on Feb. 14.

Muni Service Changes

As a result of the Potrero Yard closure, we will implement changes to some Muni routes and stops starting February 14. We’re doing this to improve service and better match rider demand.

More Reliable Schedules

1X California Express: The buses that currently leave the first stop at 33rd Ave & Geary Blvd at 7:45 a.m. and 8 a.m. will leave five minutes earlier at 7:40 a.m. and 7:55 a.m., respectively. This change will allow for better spacing with the local 1 California buses.

54 Felton and 57 Parkmerced: We are making minor adjustments to the schedules for these routes. This way, your trips can better connect with BART.

Late-night Owl service: We are updating these schedules to more accurately reflect trip times.

Changes to Bus Frequency

5 Fulton and 5R Fulton Rapid: With the closure of the Potrero Division, there will now be a mix of 40’ and 60’ buses on the 5 Fulton and 5R Fulton Rapid. To provide enough Muni service to meet ridership demand, the 5 Fulton will arrive every 7 minutes on weekends instead of every 10 minutes. The 5R Fulton Rapid will now arrive every 8 minutes instead of every 10 minutes during busy times. We will monitor this frequency change and address crowding as needed.

14 Mission: To allocate resources where they are needed most, the 14 Mission will run every 8 minutes instead of every 7 minutes on weekends. We’re making this change since more riders are choosing to ride the 14R Mission Rapid at these times. We will also monitor this change to address crowding as needed.

Bus Stop Changes

1 California and 1X California Express: The inbound (eastbound) stop on the 1 California and 1X California Express at California St & 4th Ave will move across the intersection. This way, buses will stop at a new transit bulb after the traffic light. The change will help improve reliability and traffic safety.

6 Hayes-Parnassus: On days when Hayes Street is closed to cars between Gough and Laguna Streets, the 6 Hayes-Parnassus will continue to use Grove Street. This may not be reflected on trip-planning apps (e.g. Google Maps). This change will make trip-planning apps more accurate on weekends when Hayes Street is open to traffic.
15 Bayview Hunters Point Express: We are adding a new stop at Stockton St & Geary St in Union Square for trips heading toward the Bayview. This will improve transfers to Union Square/Market Street Station.

35 Eureka, 37 Corbett, K Ingleside Bus, and L Owl: The inbound (eastbound) stop for the 37, K Bus, L Owl and the terminal for the 35 on Market at Castro streets will be restored to its original location due to the new Castro Station elevator being substantially completed. The temporary stop location at Castro & Market (southwest corner of will be discontinued and the original location will resume service.

48 Quintara-24th Street: The outbound route (toward Ocean Beach) will match the inbound route through West Portal. That means the 48 will travel on Ulloa Street instead of Vicente Street and West Portal Avenue. It will no longer stop at Vicente St & West Portal Ave. This change avoids congestion on Vicente Street.

58 Lake Merced: The 58 Lake Merced will move three stops to use new boarding islands on Lake Merced Boulevard: These boarding islands will improve bus reliability and travel times.
- In the inbound direction (toward Stonestown), the Lake Merced Blvd & Lake Merced Hills Blvd stop will move from the sidewalk to a new boarding island in the street.
- The inbound (toward Stonestown) 1100 Lake Merced Blvd stop will move about 350 feet south to a new boarding island near the crosswalk at John Muir Drive.
- The outbound (toward Daly City BART) 1100 Lake Merced Blvd stop will also move about 350 feet south to a new boarding island near John Muir Drive.
