SFMTA reroutes bus lines for June events and construction | The Locally Times
The 6 Hayes/Parnassus, 29 Sunset, and 30 Stockton lines face reroutes and stop suspensions throughout June 2026.
## Transit Reroutes The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) will reroute the 6 Hayes/Parnassus line onto Grove Street every Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. through December 31, 2026. This change accommodates the Hayes Valley Farmers Market and Shared Spaces, a program that allows businesses to use street space for outdoor dining and retail. The reroute suspends service at Hayes Street at Gough Street (stop #14996), Hayes Street at Laguna Street (stop #14998), and Hayes Street at Buchanan Street (stop #14983). Riders may board at flag stops on Grove Street at Gough Street and Grove Street at Laguna Street. ## Weekend Event Impact The Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon on June 6, 2026, requires service changes for the 29 Sunset and 30 Stockton lines between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The 29 Sunset will detour via 25th Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard, with multiple stops suspended near the Presidio and Bowley Street. The 30 Stockton will terminate at a temporary location at Divisadero Street and Chestnut Street, bypassing stops near the Sports Basement parking lot and Crissy Field. Normal operations resume once the race course clears. ## FIFA World Cup Preparations BART, the regional heavy-rail transit system, announced plans on June 1, 2026, to increase service, security, and signage for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The agency release does not provide specific dates for these service increases or detail how they will coordinate with Muni transit adjustments during the tournament. ## Citywide Service Initiative Seventeen city departments, including the SFMTA, the San Francisco Police Department, the San Francisco Fire Department, and the Department of Public Health, committed to a coordinated service day titled 'One City Day.' The May 28, 2026, meeting minutes from the San Francisco Department of Public Health confirm the participation of these agencies. The records do not specify the date, time, location, or the specific service projects planned for this initiative. ## Key Questions **How will the Hayes Valley Farmers Market affect my bus commute?** Every Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. through the end of 2026, the 6 Hayes/Parnassus route will detour to Grove Street, bypassing stops at Gough, Laguna, and Buchanan streets. **What transit changes should I expect for the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon?** On June 6, 2026, the 29 Sunset and 30 Stockton lines will operate on modified routes between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., resulting in the suspension of multiple stops near the Presidio and Crissy Field. **What is the plan for the 'One City Day' service event?** While seventeen city departments are listed as partners, the city has not released the date, location, or specific service projects associated with the event.
