Perhaps you missed the report of changes to NOPA’s Muni lines in the midst of so much other transportation news affecting our neighborhood. But Saturday, December 5th, the 5 Fulton, 21 Hayes, and 31 Balboa will all see frequency and service changes. Here’s what you can expect:

5 FULTON: Frequency increased/evening service extended. Frequency on the 5 Fulton will increase during peak periods. Evening service on the 5 Fulton will be extended from Jones/McAllister streets to the Transbay Terminal. Owl service will begin earlier, at 12:45 a.m. and the Owl terminal will remain at Market and McAllister streets.

21 HAYES: Segment eliminated/service hours reduced. The segment of the 21 Hayes between 6th Avenue and Stanyan Street will be eliminated. The last bus to Downtown will depart at 11:50 p.m. and the last bus from Downtown will depart at 12:30 a.m. Nearby Muni Service: Muni’s 5 Fulton provides similar service.

24 DIVISADERO: No changes.

31 BALBOA: Frequency and service hours reduced. Frequency on the 31 Balboa will decrease during peak periods to every 12 minutes. The last bus to Downtown will depart at 11:55 p.m. and the last bus from Downtown will depart at 12:40 a.m.

31AX Balboa ‘A’ Express: No Changes

  1. Nice to see evening service on the 5 Fulton once again extended to the Transbay terminal. I'm not quite as excited about the 21 Hayes trying to navigate down the Shrader St. hill between Fulton & Grove Sts., though! Talk about a MUNI lawsuit waiting to happen....

  2. SOOOO glad that I can now get home on the 5 Fulton at night by waiting at Market/Powell, instead of having to get it closer to Civic Center...that's a nice change.

  3. I'm thrilled they are reducing some of the stops on the 21. It used to stop on every single block and took FOREVER to get anywhere.
