SFMTA reroutes three Muni bus lines for June street closures | The Locally Times
The 6, 29, and 30 bus lines will divert from regular routes due to recurring Hayes Valley closures and the June 6 triathlon.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) scheduled reroutes for the 6 Hayes/Parnassus, 29 Sunset, and 30 Stockton bus lines throughout June 2026 to accommodate street closures and the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. These changes affect service in Hayes Valley, the Presidio, the Outer Richmond, and the Marina. ## Hayes Valley weekend closures The city closes Hayes Street between Gough and Octavia every Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the Hayes Valley Farmers Market & Shared Spaces, a street-use program that permits outdoor commercial activity. This schedule remains in effect through June 27, 2026. During these hours, the outbound 6 Hayes/Parnassus diverts north onto Grove Street. This bypasses stops at Hayes and Gough, Hayes and Laguna, and Hayes and Buchanan. Riders may use flag stops at Grove and Gough, Grove and Laguna, or the stop at Hayes and Webster. ## Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon reroutes On June 6, the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, a multi-sport race involving swimming, cycling, and running, triggers transit changes in the Presidio, Outer Richmond, and Marina. The 29 Sunset line diverts from 6:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Inbound buses travel from 28th Avenue and California Street via California, 26th, Lake, and 25th to a temporary terminal at 25th Avenue and California Street. Outbound service follows the same path. The 30 Stockton line diverts from 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on June 6. Inbound and outbound service terminates at Divisadero and Chestnut streets to avoid race activity near Crissy Field, a national park site. ## BART service adjustments BART, the regional heavy-rail transit system, scheduled increased service levels, security presence, and staffing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The agency plans to install additional signage for visitors. As of June 1, 2026, BART has not released specific service schedules or budget figures for the tournament period. ## Key Questions **Which Muni stops are closed during the Hayes Valley Farmers Market?** The Hayes Street stops at Gough Street, Laguna Street, and Buchanan Street are closed during the Friday and Saturday event hours in June. **How long will the 30 Stockton be rerouted on June 6?** The 30 Stockton line operates with temporary reroutes between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on June 6.
