Muni Bringing Back Lots of Buses to SF on May 16th
Beginning Saturday, May 16, the SFMTA will increase the frequency on a number of lines in Muni’s existing COVID-19 Core system (including the 8, 14R, 22 Fillmore, 38R, 49, N Bus and T Bus) along with bringing back service on the 9R San Bruno Rapid.
This more frequent service will continue to support essential trips in San Francisco and address crowding in several of our routes, allowing for better physical distancing.

We are able to deliver these changes because our staffing availability has improved, and we have implemented additional bus cleaning programs. These changes allow us to make service frequency increases to our COVID-19 Core service network.
