San Francisco: Muni Subway to be Closed at Night Starting July 31 for Six Months

Passengers who ride the Muni Metro subway lines at night will have to hop on the bus for six months beginning July 31.

Work to replace the system's outdated radio and emergency telephone communications systems will shut down the Market Street Subway and Twin Peaks Tunnel, eliminating rail service between Embarcadero and West Portal stations.

Muni will replace the subway service with shuttle buses scheduled to depart every 8 minutes along the length of the subway. Regular Muni Metro service is scheduled to resume at about 5 a.m. daily.

During the subway shutdown, shuttles will run from the Embarcadero to St. Francis Circle from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Riders can board shuttles at the island F-line stops near the Market Street subway stations. Muni Metro rail service outside of the tunnels will run on normal schedules. ....................(more)
