Olivia takes the 9-San Bruno bus five days a week to Hayes Valley or Market and Van Ness. She said the experience is grim.
Beverly shared that the 9-San Bruno bus, which provides service from 5 a.m. to midnight, has experienced an increase in ridership since it was added to the public transportation system as part of Muni Forward in 2017. Weekday ridership is higher than before onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beverly takes the 9 about twice a week. She said it’s crowded but appreciates its frequency.
Advait and Fedeiica said that the 22-Fillmore is one of the few Muni bus lines that’s had an increase in ridership since 2019. Advait and Fedeiica are Mission Bay residents who take the 22-Fillmore every couple of days. They enjoy the punctuality of the bus and how it traverses two sides of the City. They use it to go to 16th and Mission, Dolores Park, the Fillmore, and to connect to the N-Judah.
