SF Muni Restores Route 43 After Jackson Collision

Muni Route 43 returns to normal routing after non-Muni collision at Jackson and Steiner

Muni Route 43 Resumes After Jackson Collision

San Francisco's Muni Route 43 has resumed regular service after a non-Muni collision temporarily blocked Jackson and Steiner streets, transit officials said. Both inbound and outbound buses were rerouted around the intersection while emergency crews cleared the scene. Riders should expect residual delays as buses return to normal schedules.

Collision Prompted Temporary Reroutes

The collision at Jackson and Steiner streets didn't involve any Muni vehicles but required both directions of Route 43 to detour around the affected intersection, according to the transit agency. Inbound buses were redirected via Pine Street, Jackson Street, Steiner Street, and Lombard Street. Outbound buses followed an alternate route via Lombard Street, Steiner Street, and Jackson Street. The reroutes were implemented to avoid the collision scene and maintain service continuity while allowing emergency responders to work safely.

Service Restoration Underway

Normal operations at the Jackson and Steiner intersection have been restored after the incident was cleared, transit officials confirmed. Route 43 buses have returned to their regular routing in both directions. Officials didn't specify how long the disruption lasted or provide details about the collision itself. The agency said passengers may still experience residual delays as buses work to return to their published schedules.

Timeline for Full Service Normalization

Transit officials said service is resuming but didn't provide a specific timeline for when schedules will fully normalize. Riders are advised to allow extra travel time until buses complete their transition back to regular operations. The agency typically experiences brief schedule disruptions following unexpected reroutes as vehicles work to regain their proper spacing and timing.

What Riders Need to Know

Passengers using Route 43 should plan for possible delays even though the collision has been cleared and regular routing has resumed. Transit officials recommend allowing additional travel time until service fully stabilizes.
