I can understand the hate that we grew up with for the L Taraval. Dirty, slow, never there…read more.... However, now that the L Taraval has recently returned after a 5-year hiatus from construction woes, I will say that the L Taraval is now very convenient from Parkside to wherever you want to get downtown. Living about a block away from one of its handicapped stops, it is extremely convenient to hop on with my toddler in a stroller, and head on downtown. It runs every 10 mins on weekdays, and 15 on weekends, and actually seems like more often than that. I can contest to that, since I live so close, and can hear it passing all the time. The sound of the L Taraval (and all other Muni trains) is not annoying, but rather very soothing and comforting to hear, even late at night, and early in the morning. The street cars are clean (they didn't always use to be), and from my stop in the Parkside, only takes me 27 mins to get down to Embarcadero Station, which is quite handy for $2.50. In addition, the beautification project is quite pleasurable, with dessert plants, light gravel, newly planted trees, and string lights upon its path. It can be truly charming for those who are open to it. L Taraval - stands for how LOVELY it is!

Sadly, I'm dropping a star for the L. Sometimes I wonder if Muni management is just toying with…read morethose of us in the Parkside/edge of Outer Sunset area. Just when we get used to the latest update to service, it gets changed. I appreciate that it was one of the few lines available at the beginning of Shelter-in-Place even if it switched from a LRV to a bus because I was still going to the office daily. In fact, it was a beautiful ride because of the views of the skyline while twisting down Portola. But while other LRV lines have been switched back, the L is still a bus. Which wasn't so horrible when I could still take it to the Castro/Duboce Triangle area. Then someone at Muni management had the bright idea to make it a glorified shuttle between the zoo and West Portal. So now I have to get off the bus, trudge into West Portal station and switch to an inbound LRV. Which is alright when there's a train waiting. But there are untold number of times when the train takes off just as we go through the fare gate or we have to wait for one. But the "update" that makes me laugh the most is the L Bus Special that started in October. It runs between the zoo and the Embarcadero on weekdays from 10am to 6pm approximately every 50 minutes. Yup. 5-0. Brilliant. I can't utilize it to get to work but maybe to get home? Well, in the 2.5 months it's been running, I've only been able to catch it 5 times. Tonight would've been #6 and the NextBus app said it would be at the stop 5 minutes after I got off work. Perfect since I was carrying bags of gifts home. Except after I rushed 3 blocks to make it to the stop on time, the bus bypassed the stop. Sucks. So I trudged with all my bags down into the station, got on a S shuttle to West Portal, then trudged to catch the L "shuttle". So right now I'm not a huge fan of the L. It's still gets me to work but it has gotten so má fan.

SF Muni Route 28 Bus Delay -- Saturday, October 10, 2026…read more I arrived at 19th Avenue & Winston, bus stop #13402, at 6:44pm to catch the Route 28 bus toward Fisherman's Wharf. The bus stop screen initially showed the next buses arriving in 17 and 54 minutes. At 7:05pm, the estimated arrival times suddenly changed to 30 and 33 minutes. Finally, at 7:18pm, Route 28, Vehicle #8930, arrived. I waited a total of 34 MINUTES for the bus on a Saturday night. What was even more confusing was that when the bus arrived at 7:18pm, the screen was still showing the next buses arriving in 15 and 17 minutes. Why didn't the displayed arrival times match the actual bus arrival? Is Muni's real-time tracking system not updating properly, or are there delays in tracking the buses? Passengers need accurate arrival information to plan their trips. While waiting, I noticed two Route 29 buses go by. Some people who were waiting for Route 28 started running toward the Route 29 bus stop, presumably because Route 28 was taking so long to arrive. I also saw a few people apparently getting picked up by what looked like Uber or Lyft vehicles at the same bus stop. According to SFMTA's published schedule: * **Weekdays:**Every 12 minutes during the morning, midday, and evening; every 20 minutes late at night. * **Weekends:**Every 15 minutes during the morning, midday, and evening; every 20 minutes late at night. However, I waited 34 minutes for Route 28 on a Saturday evening. The changing arrival estimates made it even harder to know when the bus would actually arrive. This has become a familiar pattern with Route 28 on weekends:infrequent service, long delays, changing arrival times, and buses bunching together instead of arriving at regular intervals. Why do passengers have to wait so long for a bus while the arrival times keep changing? I hope Muni will review the weekend schedule, bus spacing, dispatching, and real-time arrival information to find out why these problems continue. **Summary:**I'm posting this review on Yelp to keep track of how many times Route 28 is delayed and document my experiences. I'm also submitting a Muni feedback complaint about the ongoing problems with infrequent Route 28 service and weekend delays. Hopefully, people reading this review will learn how to submit a Muni complaint, too. While waiting for the bus, I often hear passengers complaining to each other about the delays. I understand their frustration, but just complaining to each other won't make the bus arrive on time. Reporting these problems directly to Muni gives the agency feedback about what riders are experiencing. You can submit feedback online through the official SFMTA/Muni feedback form⁠, or call 311 to report bus delays. Passengers deserve accurate arrival information and dependable bus service, especially on weekends.

I found the BART (as a first-time rider) easy to navigate with clear signage. If you're taking it from SFO, it couldn't be easier to get into the city. Compared to cities where the subway lines go underground, the above-ground BART cars can be a bit tricky to figure out at first, but once you know where the stop is, just locate which side of the road has the car going in your desired direction. They may not be directly across the street from each other, so some walking may be involved. I found the BART to be clean, efficient, and an affordable way to get around the San Francisco Bay Area.

At this point, SFMTA has failed its communities in all aspects. From my experience, I will demonstrate how employees treated me, and the results of my commute. Experience #1: I lost my clipper card, and I asked one of the employees at the information booth how to operate it the app. Many of the workers do not don't know! Others gave me wrong information. Experience #2: I was appalled about how the Transit Fare Inspector treated me. Badge #F65, Eugene Bulkin labled me as difficult for not showing my ID. I was honest, and cooperative in this type of situation. To look superior, he forcefully made me find my ID in my fanny pak after mentioning, losing ID at the bar. He also threatened me to call dispatch. Lastly, he went through my bag by peeking that he saw my ID. Besides, trying to sound superior and attempting to degrade passengers/tourist, the worst part is that he embarrassed me by telling my rides at other transit agencies! Bulkin, becareful who you are talking to with that attitude of yours. You will get the person that will make you learn a lesson.

Using the BART Trip Planner I found the route there via the N Judah. I wanted to be on the Ocean Beach train. Inside the Powell Street Station, the signage confused me at first. "Outbound or Inbound?" I sheepishly asked the agent for directions. "Which way is it to the Ocean?" The agent snickered, "There's two oceans. Where do you want to go?" Fine, Outbound. Actually it didn't matter. At the platform I saw the Ocean Beach or Ball Park directions. Got it! Easy to pay the fare using my Clipper Card and I was going in the right direction. A two train car stopped and I'm on my way. I knew to get off at Irving St and 9th. The signage once again confused me. Judah and 9th is the stop listed. On this particular train, I couldn't here the operator announce the stops. Good thing I know a bit about The City and got off at the right stop. My destination was 1/2 mile away so I walked. The ride didn't take very long and it was a fun ride a glimpse of local folks and flavor. The return ride was uneventful and I proudly felt new confidence. I love public transportation and the N Judah works for me!

It's no surprise to see traffic when traveling on Fell / Oak Streets. This is an excellent route. Also, an answer to that better commute. I wanted to go Sheng Kee Bakery on Irving St and 21st Ave. But I didn't want to get on a route that makes every stop along the way. Route 7x Noriega Express became my answer. This route got me straight to 23rd Ave and Lincoln Way from Fell St and Gough St in 20 minutes. With traffic, roughly 25 minutes - 30 minutes. I like how they have 40' and 60' buses in service on this route. It truly is an excellent way to alleviate crowding. It would be really nice to have midday and weekend service on this route. Or at least, a similar route gets placed in to service using the same path this route uses when it's not in service.

I hopped on the 7X on Friday, July 6th a little after 5:30pm. I've taken the regular 7 before and this bus is so much better. It skips the entire Haight part and goes straight down Fell which is a lot faster. (It doesn't stop at all between Gough & 9th Avenue.) For $2.75, I got from Market & Grant to Lincoln & 19th Avenue in 15 stops and about 35 mins. After that, it was an easy transfer to the 28. My original intention was to take the 5R - Fulton to the 28, so I'm glad the 7X stopped by first as it ended up being so much faster.

You can even track it live via a website or phone app (I haven't tried the app), which makes catching the shuttle a breeze. I did notice both times I rode the shuttle that there was an incident of someone shouting at the driver to stop because they needed to get off, but it was hard to tell whether the driver had missed their stop request or they had tried to get off somewhere that wasn't a stop.

Other times it's a mix of people from age 4 to 85 that want to go to the doctors, San Antonio Shopping Center or a random Starbucks. On Saturdays it can go near Shoreline so if you are biking near the VTA bus yard this bus can be your resting area thanks to their bike racks. I live in a low-income area of San Jose and are really jealous that nothing like this exists near where I live. I wish it did so I could save money on gas.
