SF Routes 5, 5R Resume at Fulton and Masonic
San Francisco's outbound routes 5 and 5R are running normally through the Fulton and Masonic intersection after police cleared the area. The San Francisco Police Department confirmed the routes resumed regular service, ending earlier restrictions that had disrupted transit operations. Route 43 wasn't affected and continued operating on schedule throughout the incident.
Context and Background
The police clearance follows an incident that temporarily restricted outbound service for routes 5 and 5R through the Fulton and Masonic area. Transit officials said the restrictions were lifted once police determined buses could safely proceed through the intersection. The 43 bus line maintained normal operations in both directions during the disruption. Officials didn't specify what caused the initial restrictions or how long the delays lasted.
Service Details
Outbound routes 5 and 5R now operate through Fulton and Masonic without restrictions, according to the police department. The 5 Fulton and 5R Fulton Rapid lines serve as key east-west corridors connecting the Richmond District to downtown San Francisco. Route 43 Masonic, which runs north-south through the intersection, continued regular service throughout. Officials said all three routes are maintaining their published schedules.
Timeline and Implementation
The San Francisco Police Department cleared routes 5 and 5R to proceed through the intersection following the incident. Transit officials said normal operations resumed immediately after police provided clearance. The agency didn't announce when the initial restrictions began or provide details about the duration of service disruptions.
