More Muni Routes Are Coming Back July 9
SF Muni is adding more service. Starting July 9, Muni is bringing back additional routes that have been temporarily suspended since March 2020.
On July 9, the next phase of the 2022 Muni Service Network plan will go into effect, focused on expanding bus service including the return of the 2 Sutter, 6 Haight-Parnassus and 21 Hayes (with some route changes), as well as other route extensions and modifications.
Public feedback helped Muni prioritize bringing back routes and connections many communities rely on. Read more about what Muni heard from the public and how they incorporated feedback into the 2022 service proposal.
As resources allow, Muni service changes will continue prioritizing service linking neighborhoods identified by our Muni Service Equity Strategy to essential destinations like hospitals and neighborhood commercial corridors, accommodate changing travel patterns and getting the most of our system.
Muni heard from many seniors and people with disabilities that bringing back the connection to the Jewish Community Center food hub is an important priority, so they are bringing back the 2 Sutter between Presidio Avenue and California Street and the Ferry Plaza at Embarcadero. For service west of Presidio Avenue, customers can take the 1 California, which runs more frequently one block north of Clement Street.
