Fix It! Week Closes Muni Metro Early Starting Thursday, April 14

Maintenance of Way Engineering conducting track and ballast inspections during early subway shutdowns.

Every night after Muni Metro subway service hours, SFMTA maintenance crews work to maintain the tracks and equipment underground. On most nights, this gives them only about two hours to get work done. To complete critical maintenance tasks that cannot be completed during normal windows, we are planning Fix It! Week from Thursday, April 14, through Sunday, April 24, so the crews have more hours each night to do this vital work. 

During Fix It! Week, the subway between Embarcadero and West Portal will close early at 9:30 p.m. Buses will run above ground to connect all stops, beginning at 9:30 p.m. through the normal end of train service at 12 a.m. while the subway is closed for maintenance. Owl service will remain unchanged.  Trains will start regular morning service each day. To accommodate those attending NBA playoffs at Chase Center, subway service will remain in place on evenings with games at Chase Center. 

Transit Service Plan - 9:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. 

  • KLM Bus Shuttle – Bus shuttles will serve all Muni Metro stops between Third/Mission Rock and St. Francis Circle. 

  • K – Train service between Balboa Park and St. Francis Circle 

  • M – Train service between Balboa Park and West Portal 

  • N – Train service between Ocean Beach and Church/Duboce  

  • J – Train service between Balboa Park and Church/Duboce  

  • T – Train service between Sunnydale and Third/Mission Rock 

Accessible Transfers at Church/Market and Duboce - 9:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. 

  • KLM Shuttle Bus to N Judah Westbound or J Church Eastbound, board at the accessible boarding island on Church Street nearside of Duboce Avenue.  

  • KLM Shuttle Bus to N Judah Eastbound or J Church Westbound, board at the accessible boarding island on Church Street farside Market Street. 

  • To transfer from J Church to N Judah at Church and Duboce stay onboard. N Judah Eastbound trains will become J Church Westbound trains at Duboce and Church. J Church Eastbound Trains will become N Judah Westbound trains at Church and Duboce.  

For service on Market Street, Muni customers can board KLM bus shuttles at bus stops marked with the half-moon sign.

The extended Fix It! Week work window will give us an opportunity to do complex work aimed at making subway operations more reliable and preventing future breakdowns. The maintenance will cover overhead lines, tracks, signals and the Automated Train Control System, a signal system that tracks the location and speed of any trains in the subway.  

The next Fix It! Week is planned for August 2022. 

During Fix It! Week, Muni customers are encouraged to leave extra travel time when riding Muni during subway closure. Regular bus fares will apply on bus shuttles and valid transfers will be accepted. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we improve the safety, reliability and on-time performance of the Muni Metro system.

Celebrating the life and legacy of Harvey Milk

Celebrating the life and legacy of Harvey Milk By Sophia Scherr Today we celebrate and remember the life of San Francisco LGBTQ+ advocate and icon, Harvey Milk. One of our city’s most revered politicians, Milk's legacy as the first openly gay San Francisco supervisor and elected official in California helped in breaking down discriminatory barriers and usher LGBTQ+ politicians in government positions. Milk also advocated for equitable transportation, as he rode Muni exclusively since he did not own a car. He was a firm believer that affordable mobility was important in creating a thriving and livable city. Below is Harvey Milk with Curtis E. Green, General Manager of the Municipal Railway promoting Muni’s “Fast Pass”. Mr. Green was a barrier-breaking figure in his own right, by becoming the first African American appointed to Muni's top position from his beginnings with the Agency as a bus operator. With his 1974 appointment, Green also became the first African American to ...

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response By Erica Kato The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unforeseen c hanges to San Francisco’s transportation network. And the impact of the crisis will continue to be felt city-wide long beyond the end of the public health emergency. On March 13, 2020, when it became clear that San Francisco needed immediate adjustments to the transportation system, Director of Transportation Jeff Tumlin launched SFMTA’s Department Operations Center (DOC) team. Since then, the DOC has served as a centralized hub to ensure that we are minimizing health risks to employees and the public as we keep transportation running, both by coordinating internally within the agency and by collaborating closely with our city, state, and federal partners to deploy resources and information in the most effective way possible. San Francisco's response to the COVID-19 pandemic included implementing temporary emergency transit lanes  Our COVID-19 response has chal...
