Golden Gate Transit, through its bus schedule updates published today, August 19, 2012, has updated its bus schedules for the coming Fall season starting September 9th, in which the agency has announced that it will temporarily relocate its bus stops along Fremont Street and Pine Street in September due to construction of the new Transbay Terminal along Fremont Street in San Francisco. The relocation of several bus stops in the Financial District and South of Market areas will affect the afternoon (northbound) commute trips only. Morning (southbound) commute trips operate as normal along Battery Street and First Street.
In particular, two of Golden Gate Transit's stops along Fremont Street before Mission Street -- one for the Sonoma County trips (Routes 72, 72X, 74, 76), the other for the Novato trips (Routes 54, 56, 58) -- and one for Muni's Sunday and holiday-only Line 76 to Marin Headlands will be closed temporarily for the month of September as construction continues for the new Transbay Tower and Terminal (see map below for stop closures and relocation)
As a result of the temporary bus stop closures, Golden Gate Transit will adjust its boarding locations accordingly, such that it will also affect the regular boarding locations of other buses.
With those stops occupied along Fremont Street, the following stops will be relocated temporarily to Pine Street between Front Street and Battery Street:
As for Muni's Line 76 to Marin Headlands, an island bus stop on Fremont Street nearside Market Street remains open during the temporary closure, so passengers who usually board on Fremont Street nearside Mission Street should board at that location throughout September (however, no announcement from Muni has been released, so this stop may not be affected as of now).
All other stops will remain in service for the duration of the construction.
