Transit Action EP03 | SF MUNI Hybrid and Trolley Buses @ Chinatown (1/17/23)

Video category: Transit Action
Episode: 03
Routes: 8, 30, 45
Location: Chinatown
Haven't do a Transit Action video for 5 months, but here it is!
At the intersection of Stockton and Washington Street, it gets busy very often with a lot of Chinatown residents, grocery shoppers, and of course, commuters. Buses here come very often, with a mix of three routes, the 8 Bayshore, 30 Stockton and 45 Union/Stockton, providing a very good frequency for Downtown service. Although the T line is now open, many people still choose to ride 8/30/45 as they are more convenient on surface.
Here is the timeline of the video...

I love muni ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@josephmurrill8530]

There's one thing I can say, I see how frequently the buses run, I love that. My gripe is it sooo expensive to live in San Francisco. That's sad.

[@sfmunioperations]

That’s a specialty of Chinatown and downtown! You’ll never have to worry having no buses show up!

[@xde6010]

8865 also came at 1:34 lol. guess it made a round trip already.

[@sfmunioperations]

Yep indeed. The training loop

[@HolidayInn-WelcometoBloxurg]

Muni is upgrading San Francisco. They making a better city!

[@sfmunioperations]

I agree! Newer buses, cleaner streets!

[@carmenchan424]

This is gonna be fun

[@union_station]

I have noticed that a lot of the trolley poles are down for the Stockton routes and the Sutter route (which I take every day). Is there an explanation for this?

[@sfmunioperations]

Based on my observation I do not see any construction, but I’m assuming there are. That’s why the ones are down and buses running in Battery mode

[@Takeo.8827]

Can u get the 15 next?

[@sfmunioperations]

A transit action? Or a battle?
