File 98-0358, 98-0359
(Reroute the 32-Embarcadero to operate between Hyde/Beach and the Muni Metro station on the Embarcadero between Folsom and Harrison at all times. The 32 would no longer operate along The Embarcadero south of Harrison or on Townsend, Fourth, Berry, King and Third Streets between The Embarcadero and the Caltrain Station during weekday peak periods and on weekends as it does now. This area is now served by E-Embarcadero Muni Metro rail service.
Reroute the 42-Downtown Loop to operate via Howard and Second Street (clockwise loop) and Second and Folsom (counterclockwise loop) between Market Street and the Caltrain Station. The 42 would no longer operate on certain portions of First Street, Harrison Street, Main Street, Bryant Street, The Embarcadero, and Brannan Street.
Discontinue present service on lines 80X, 81X and 82X and establish new service on lines 80X and 82X; the net effect of these changes will be as follows:
Extend the 80-X Gateway Express west from Front to Sansome; the frequencies would also be revised to reflect diversion of passengers to rail service on the new Muni Metro Embarcadero Extension.
Discontinue the 81X-Caltrain Express, weekday peak period 80X service would be removed from Third, Market, Beale, Folsom, The Embarcadero, Townsend, Fourth and King.
Revise the 82X-Levi Plaza and Presidio Express to operate (weekdays, peak periods only) on a revised AM peak period route and to operate on the same PM peak period route as it does now. It would no longer operate on The Embarcadero between Folsom and Broadway and on Broadway between The Embarcadero and Front in the AM peak period. As with 80X, the schedule would also be revised.)
