Line 7 Skips Stops on Market-Alcatraz Route
Line 7 buses are skipping multiple stops between Market Street and Alcatraz Avenue today, affecting riders who rely on the corridor for daily commutes. Transit officials said the disruption affects buses traveling in both directions and is expected to last approximately one hour. Riders who typically board or exit at stops along this section should plan for alternative transportation or use nearby routes.
Service Pattern Change
The temporary stop-skipping pattern affects a major transit corridor connecting Market Street through Alcatraz Avenue, though officials didn't specify the exact number of stops being bypassed. Transit agencies typically implement stop-skipping during service disruptions caused by street closures, special events, or operational issues that prevent buses from accessing their normal routes. Officials said the measure helps maintain service continuity on the rest of the line while the affected section remains inaccessible. The agency didn't provide details about what caused the need for the route modification.
Scope of Disruption
The service change affects Line 7 buses traveling in both directions along the Market Street to Alcatraz Avenue corridor. Officials said the disruption is temporary and expected to last approximately one hour, though a specific end time wasn't provided. The number of stops being skipped wasn't specified by the transit agency. Riders who need to access stops in the affected area will need to find alternative transportation or walk to stops outside the disrupted section.
Duration and Timeline
The stop-skipping began earlier today, March 6, and officials said it's expected to continue for about one hour. A specific time when normal service will resume wasn't announced. Transit agencies typically restore regular service patterns once the issue causing the disruption is resolved, though officials didn't say what's preventing buses from serving the affected stops.
