SF Transit Safeguards Line 40 Service Continuity

Line 40 buses to bypass E 15th Street stops starting March 3 due to PG&E utility work

Line 40 Skips E 15th Street Stops March 3

Riders who use Line 40 buses in the San Francisco-San Jose area will need to find alternative stops starting March 3, 2026. Bay Fair BART-bound buses will skip all stops along E 15th Street due to PG&E utility work, transit officials said. The changes affect daily commuters who regularly board or exit along the corridor.

Context & Background

The service modifications stem from ongoing PG&E infrastructure work requiring street access along E 15th Street, according to the transit agency. Officials classified the disruption as high severity due to its impact on regular riders who depend on these stops. Utility work often requires temporary transit detours to ensure passenger and worker safety. The agency didn't specify how long the PG&E project will take or when normal service will resume.

Key Details

All Bay Fair BART-bound Line 40 buses will bypass E 15th Street stops while the utility work continues. Officials said alternative stop locations are available for affected riders, though specific replacement stop addresses weren't provided in initial announcements. The transit agency released a list of closed stops but didn't say how many stops will be affected or how far riders might need to walk to reach alternatives. Officials said the changes are necessary to accommodate PG&E's work zone.

Timeline & Implementation

The service changes take effect March 3, 2026, officials confirmed. The transit agency didn't announce an end date for the disruption, saying the timeline depends on PG&E's construction schedule. Officials said they'll notify riders when normal service resumes along E 15th Street.

Rider Impact & Moovit

Passengers who regularly use E 15th Street stops should plan extra travel time and identify alternative boarding locations before March 3. Officials encouraged riders to review the list of closed stops and replacement locations to avoid confusion on the first day of changes.
