Starting in early 2021, Muni’s new 15 Bayview Hunters Point Express line will improve Downtown access, reduce commute times and add transit capacity for residents of the Bayview and Hunters Point neighborhoods.
This community-designed route connects the hilly communities east of Third Street to Downtown and was chosen by residents who voted in a fall 2020 survey.
Route Goals
The goals of the new express route from Bayview-Hunters Point is to,
- Improve access to Downtown (3rd/Market) from the Bayview and Hunters Point neighborhoods
- Provide shorter travel times for community members traveling to Downtown
- Reflect neighborhood residents’ travel patterns and priorities
The route alternatives up for vote have estimated travel times of 36-45 minutes one-way. With the shortest estimated travel time anticipated for more direct routing, and greater travel times for route options that would provide additional Muni service to the Bayview-Hunters Point hilly neighborhoods.
