SF Muni Adapts Route 25 for Youth Rugby Event
Route 25 to Treasure Island detours Saturday for youth rugby tournament on Avenue H
Muni Reroutes Route 25 for Rugby Event Saturday
San Francisco's Route 25 Treasure Island bus will take a temporary detour Saturday, January 10, when Avenue H closes for a youth rugby tournament. The single-day reroute affects service to and from Treasure Island, though officials haven't specified which stops will be relocated or how long delays might last. Transit officials said the adjustment aims to accommodate the sporting event while maintaining service to the island community.
Street Closure Prompts Service Adjustment
The reroute stems from a street closure on Avenue H to host the Golden Gate Youth Rugby Tournament, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Route 25 provides the primary transit connection between downtown San Francisco and Treasure Island, a neighborhood built on a former naval station in San Francisco Bay. Officials didn't provide details about the tournament's schedule or the exact length of Avenue H that will be closed. Transit agencies routinely adjust routes temporarily for special events and street closures.
Limited Details on Detour Route
The transit agency described the reroute as minor but didn't release specifics about the detour path or which stops will be affected. Officials haven't said how many stops might be relocated or whether service frequency will change during the event. The agency announced the change via social media but hadn't posted detailed service alerts on its website by publication time. Specific information about expected delays wasn't available.
One-Day Change Returns to Normal Sunday
The service adjustment will last only Saturday, with regular Route 25 service resuming Sunday, January 11. Officials didn't specify what time Saturday the reroute begins or when normal service returns. The transit agency typically provides advance notice of temporary route changes through multiple channels, though the timeline for additional details about this reroute wasn't clear.
Riders Should Plan Ahead for Saturday Travel
Passengers traveling to or from Treasure Island on Saturday should allow extra time and confirm stop locations before heading out. Jeffrey Tumlin, Director of Transportation for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, oversees systemwide operations including temporary service adjustments.
