SFMTA reroutes 22 Fillmore bus for 18 hours during Juneteenth celebration | The Locally Times
The transit agency will divert service to Webster Street from 3:30 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. this Saturday to accommodate festivities.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) will reroute the 22 Fillmore bus line for 18.5 hours on Saturday, June 13, 2026, to accommodate the annual Juneteenth Freedom Celebration. The service change begins at 3:30 a.m. and remains in effect until 11:59 p.m. to allow for street closures in the Fillmore district. ## Transit Reroutes During the event, the 22 Fillmore will bypass the festival area by traveling along Webster Street between Fulton and Sutter. This change affects both inbound and outbound routes. Passengers seeking to transfer to the 5 Fulton, 31 Balboa, 38 Geary, or 38R Geary Rapid lines will need to walk to designated stops on Webster Street or nearby intersections, as the standard stops on Fillmore Street between Fulton and Sutter will be inaccessible. ## Street Closures City officials scheduled street closures from 4 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Saturday. Affected segments include Fillmore Street between Geary and Fulton, and O’Farrell Street between Steiner and Fillmore. Additionally, the city will close cross-streets including Golden Gate, Eddy, Turk, McAllister, and Fulton between Steiner and Webster. These closures support the festival, which runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a parade scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ## What to Watch While the 22 Fillmore is the only route officially rerouted, the SFMTA warns that the 5 Fulton, 31 Balboa, 38 Geary, and 38R Geary Rapid lines may face delays and increased bus crowding throughout the day.
