⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Tunnel Closure - SF Muni 6717 on M Ocean View Bus - 2015 New Flyer Xcelsior XDE60

Subscribe: / @southbaytransit
The Twin Peaks Tunnel Closure is when three routes have LRVs replaced by rail replacement buses: the K Ingleside, the L Taraval (for a while now), and M Ocean View. This closure is due to the fact that the tunnel has been aging and is in need of work and maintenance to help keep the tunnel running for future Muni service and also the anticipated increased demand later on. A short service replacement early on for maintenance works is still better than an unannounced breakdown and long repairs that disrupt service later on.
Here we see a New Flyer articulated bus on the M Ocean View with a nice sounding BAE transmission running this route to Balboa Park Station. Enjoy this short ride on a rail replacement bus while you can!
