MUNI M bus shuttle in service Monday

Starting Monday, the M Bus will return to partial service as a “Community Shuttle” between Balboa Park and West Portal stations, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency announced Friday.

Service will only be on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., with frequency every 20 minutes.

The service reintroduction is based on ridership trends, staffing availability and community feedback. It will improve transit connections in the southwestern area of the city.

The modified M Bus Community Shuttle route will provide better access for trips in the Ocean View, Merced Heights and Ingleside neighborhoods and to the transit hubs of West Portal and Balboa Park.
