SFMTA reroutes 6 Muni bus line through December 2026 | The Locally Times
Outbound 6 Hayes/Parnassus buses skip four stops every Friday and Saturday for the Hayes Valley Farmers Market.
The SFMTA, the city agency managing San Francisco's public transit, reroutes the 6 Hayes/Parnassus bus line every Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. through December 2026. The July 25 SFMTA Travel & Transit Updates document states these closures accommodate the Hayes Valley Farmers Market & Shared Spaces event on Hayes Street between Gough and Octavia streets. ## Transit Route Adjustments During the specified hours, outbound 6 Hayes/Parnassus buses turn off Hayes Street onto Franklin Street. The route continues along Grove Street, turns onto Webster Street, and returns to Hayes Street. This detour removes four stops from the outbound route: Hayes and Gough, Hayes and Laguna, Hayes and Buchanan, and Hayes and Van Ness. ## Temporary Stops The SFMTA established two temporary flag stops to replace the closed locations. Riders may board or exit at the northwest corner of Grove and Gough streets or the northeast corner of Grove and Laguna streets. The agency updates its service advisory page monthly to reflect changes to the event schedule. ## Resident Impact Passengers traveling outbound must walk to the temporary stops on Grove Street during the event hours. The SFMTA documentation does not specify reroute paths for the inbound 6 Hayes/Parnassus line or potential impacts on other transit lines. Residents may contact the 311 Customer Service Center at 415-701-2311 for information.
