SF Line 18 Adjusts Service for Street Closure

Line 18 buses bypass stops between 27th and 30th Streets for one hour

Line 18 Skips Stops on 27th-30th St for Hour

Line 18 buses are bypassing several stops in both directions, affecting riders trying to board or exit between 27th Street and 30th Street. Transit officials said the service disruption will last approximately one hour, though they didn't specify when the skip pattern began or what caused the temporary route change. Riders needing to access stops in the affected area will need to use alternate stops outside the closure zone.

Temporary Service Disruption Affects Multiple Stops

The stop-skipping pattern affects all Line 18 service traveling in both directions along the corridor, according to the transit agency. Officials said riders should expect buses to pass through the 27th Street through 30th Street segment without stopping for passenger boarding or alighting. Transit agencies typically implement temporary stop skips due to street closures, emergency situations, traffic incidents, or construction activity that blocks bus access to designated stops. Specific details about what prompted this particular service modification weren't available by publication time.

Four-Block Segment Temporarily Bypassed

The affected segment spans four blocks between 27th Street and 30th Street, though officials haven't said how many individual bus stops are being bypassed during the disruption. Line 18 typically serves multiple stops within this corridor during normal operations. The transit agency didn't provide information about whether the disruption affects only certain times of day or all service hours during the one-hour period. Officials said riders needing stops in the affected area should plan to board or exit at stops outside the closure zone and walk to their final destinations.

One-Hour Duration Expected for Route Modification

The stop-skipping pattern is expected to last approximately one hour, transit officials said, though they didn't specify the exact start or end times for the temporary service change. The agency advised riders to check real-time information before traveling to ensure they have current service details. Officials didn't say whether the disruption might extend beyond the initial one-hour estimate or if similar patterns might affect service later in the day.

Riders Advised to Check Real-Time Updates

Passengers planning to use Line 18 should verify current service patterns before heading to stops in the affected area, officials said. The transit agency recommended riders check real-time arrival information to confirm bus locations and service status.
