SF Line 6 Adapts Route, Service Continues
Line 6 buses bypass 27th Street and Telegraph Avenue stops for one-hour disruption
Line 6 Skips 27th Street, Telegraph Stops
Buses on Line 6 in the San Francisco-San Jose metro area are bypassing stops along 27th Street and Telegraph Avenue, transit officials said. The service disruption affects both directions and is expected to last approximately one hour, according to an announcement published January 31. Officials didn't specify which specific stops along the corridors are affected or what's causing the service interruption.
Service Pattern Change
Transit agencies typically implement temporary stop skips due to street closures, construction activity, traffic incidents, or emergency situations that make normal routing unsafe or impossible. Officials said the disruption requires buses to bypass the affected section of the route while maintaining service on other portions of Line 6. The agency didn't provide details about whether alternative stops are available nearby for affected riders. Such temporary service changes usually last from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the underlying cause.
Affected Corridor Details
The service change impacts stops along two key corridors in the transit system. Officials confirmed that 27th Street and Telegraph Avenue stops are being bypassed, though the exact number of affected stops wasn't specified. Transit officials didn't say whether the disruption affects the entire length of these streets or only specific segments. The agency also hasn't indicated whether any cross streets or landmarks near the affected area could help riders identify alternative boarding locations. Officials said buses continue operating on other portions of the Line 6 route.
One-Hour Duration Expected
The service disruption is expected to last approximately one hour from the time of the January 31 announcement, officials said. Transit officials didn't provide a specific end time for when normal service would resume on the affected portion of Line 6. The agency typically restores regular service patterns once the underlying issue causing the disruption is resolved, though officials haven't said what's causing buses to skip the stops.
Rider Information
Passengers who regularly use stops along 27th Street and Telegraph Avenue should plan alternative routes or allow extra travel time during the disruption period. Officials advised riders to check for updates, though they didn't specify how frequently information would be provided or when normal service would resume.
