BART and Muni ridership is on the rise – from the return of the daily commute, to events like the Warriors parade and Pride. This Saturday, you might have another reason to take a ride: expanded Muni service.
Starting Saturday, Muni is restoring three pre-pandemic bus routes: No. 2 Sutter; No. 6 Haight-Parnassus; No. 21 Hayes. Eight existing routes will also be modified to add pre-pandemic connections or other modifications. Additional route changes are planned for later this year.
These changes are the result of the 2022 Muni Service Network plan, which gathered public feedback in September last year.
The plan prioritizes linking neighborhoods identified by the Muni Service Equity Strategy to essential destinations like hospitals and neighborhood commercial corridors. The No. 2 Sutter, for example, restores connections to the Jewish Community Center food hub.
