Muni Reroutes Market Street for March Saturday
San Francisco Muni riders should expect service changes along Market Street on Saturday, March 28, as a 'No Kings' march and rally takes over the city's main transit corridor. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency announced several routes will be rerouted from noon to 5 p.m. due to the demonstration, which includes a rally at Civic Center. Officials didn't specify which route numbers will be affected or how many lines will see changes.
Major Transit Corridor Affected
Market Street serves as San Francisco's primary transit spine, carrying multiple Muni Metro lines, historic streetcars, and bus routes through the city's downtown core. The corridor connects the Embarcadero waterfront to the Castro district and handles thousands of riders daily. Civic Center station, where the rally will be held, is a major transfer point served by BART and multiple Muni lines. Transit officials said the reroutes are necessary to accommodate the march route and ensure public safety during the demonstration.
Five-Hour Service Disruption
The service changes will remain in effect for the full five-hour duration of the event, from noon until 5 p.m., transit officials said. Passengers are advised to expect delays and plan for extra travel time during the event hours. The agency didn't release specific detour routes or alternative service plans for affected lines. Officials said riders should allow additional time for their journeys and consider alternative transportation options if possible.
Normal Service Resumes Evening
Normal Muni service is expected to resume after the event concludes at 5 p.m., according to the transit agency. Officials didn't say how quickly full service would be restored or whether residual delays might continue into the evening commute. The agency typically needs time to reposition vehicles and crews after major reroutes end.
Riders Urged to Check Updates
Transit officials recommend checking for real-time updates before traveling Saturday afternoon. Riders can monitor service changes through Moovit, which provides real-time transit information for San Francisco's Muni system. The agency said it will provide updates as the event progresses, though specific communication channels weren't detailed in the announcement.
