San Francisco's Route 24 Divisadero buses are running on modified paths through the Noe Valley area, transit officials said. Outbound buses now travel via 29th Street between Noe and Church Streets, while inbound buses use Day Street for the same segment. The reroute affects regular stop locations for riders who depend on the 4.5-mile route, though officials haven't said how many stops are impacted.
The Route 24 Divisadero connects neighborhoods from Potrero Hill through the Mission, Castro, and Divisadero corridor to the Marina, according to the transit agency. SFMTA operates the route as part of a system serving approximately 500,000 daily riders across San Francisco. Officials haven't disclosed the reason for the reroute, whether it's related to street construction, infrastructure work, or other operational needs. Transit agencies typically modify routes to accommodate street closures, utility work, or special events.
The service change took effect December 9, 2024, based on the agency's alert system. Officials haven't provided an end date for the modified routing or an estimate of how long the reroute will remain in place. Specific details about which stops are temporarily closed or relocated weren't available by publication time. The agency hasn't released data on how many riders use Route 24 daily or how many commuters the reroute affects.
The reroute remains in effect with no announced timeline for returning to normal service, according to the transit agency. Officials said riders should expect the modified routing to continue until further notice. SFMTA typically announces service restorations through its alert system, though the agency hasn't indicated when additional information will be available.
Riders who regularly use Route 24 should allow extra travel time and verify stop locations before their trips. Officials said passengers can check real-time arrival information for current service details.
