This happened on Friday, October 19th around 6:15pm. It was slightly confusing which side to stand on. I actually first went straight to the bus stop on the north side of the street since that's the stop I saw. But my spidey senses starting tingling, so I looked closer on google maps. That's when I realized I should be on the south side of the street. It wasn't apparent that there was a bus stop there as construction is going on, so there's scaffolding all along the sidewalk. The bus ride itself was fine. From 14th and Church St, it's just a 15+ min ride to my friend's house in twin peaks. (I believe there were 24 stops on my trip.) The downside of this line is the bus only comes every 20 mins, so if you just miss one, you'll have to wait another 20. The bus itself wasn't very packed. Lots of seats, so I didn't have to stand. I believe this is the only option on muni to get to twin peaks. Definitely cheaper than a ride share as it's only $2.75. Decent option if you're not in a hurry.

I'm the first person to rate the 37-Corbett? What's wrong with you people?…read more This is, by far, the most amazing bus line in the entire Muni system. When I first became a Muni freak five years ago, I would see this thing's route on the bus-shelter maps and think, "Huh?" It looked cool, but it would also require some time to ride the thing from start to finish and back again. Fast forward a few years. I decided to bite the bullet when I saw a 37 belching down Haight Street. I ran to Masonic and waited, catching my breath, for the bus to turn the corner. I continued to wait. And wait some more. It finally made the turn, and when the driver opened the door--he got out of the bus. I had hit one of its termini. So I got on and waited, and I wasn't disappointed. This is a crazy route. It goes every which way, and there were times at which I was actually close to my neighborhood but didn't know it. I recognized some street names, but I had never driven them, let alone walked or bused them. A half hour later, I got to the other terminus. This one is just below Twin Peaks. The driver was cool with allowing me to wait in the bus, so I did--and did almost the whole route in reverse. I rode this bus again recently, this time on one of the new hybrid buses, a mini version for this bus line's small streets. The experience was even more enjoyable, both because I had my dad with me, who loves this kind of stuff, and because the driver talked to us while eating his sandwich at the Twin Peaks terminus. If you're in love with public transit or Muni, or if you just want to see how the other 863rd lives, take the 37-Corbett.

Dear S Line (Rest in Peace SA Line), Oh why did you had to…read morecut the service for the SA line! This bus line and all transbay buses are like hidden gems! Here are my top reasons for riding the transbay whenver possible: 1. plenty of room- not only do I get my own seat, but I can stretch my toes and take the seat next to me usually since the bus is never full 2. Clean- I don't see the beautiful "art" that often plagues MUNI or the trash that fills BART 3. free wireless Internet- I get to surf the Internet and fall asleep doing it with two seats 4. friendlier bus drivers- no cranky folks- since they have a limited # of stops to stop at, they tend to be in better spirits. 5. Quite often cheaper than BART 1 way. $4 one way. Now if you live in Fremont and take the transbay, that is a steal! Get their monthly transbay pass and save over half your BART commute bill! 6. Love the translink card. Just press and I'm in. No need for change or bills. 7. On Time- With the advent of cell phones, no one is ever on time. You can, however, count on these buses to be on time and to leave on time! (literally....) 8. Comfy seats- they recline! oh yes! there is a reading light! yes! now they just need to put in "mood" lighting and they can be a road version of Virgin Airlines

The TransBay bus and its hub (Salesforce Transit Center) is the best way for me to get around San Francisco, although I really love driving in the city... just not with the current state of traffic and overcrowding. I like the Caltrain but I like this bus line a little better. It's been a long long time since I first came to the San Francisco Greyhound bus station and the memory haunts me still. There was a huge Skyway across the road with the Greyhound sign on it, which always told me I was here. Definitely the memories are haunting and distant, and for a long time after coming many times in my early years, I was always hoping that it would still look like it did in my mind. These days it is the Transbay Transit Center, which has now been renamed the Salesforce Transit Center. It's a massive and amazing and modern building and has taken over from the Greyhound building that I came to and used so many times. It's a good memory for me and I guess that's all that it will ever be. It's been a long long time now since I saw that original building on the street corner, and the new Transit Center is magnificent and currently mainly serves the Greyhound station. Transbay looks modern and space-age and curvaceous and white. And it's definitely quite different to anything you would imagine. There's even an aerial tram and a roof top park. I mean you can't expect much more than that. It's massive and very long, taking up several city blocks, and a wave of the future. There is criticism for the naming rights, but most people actually really love it. They also have a Package Express service here. Barbie likes me to use my package to express myself, so here goes. Again. (pulls down pants)

But what this line has going for it is the fact that it stops downtown at all of the stations. But this went to a three star review because it goes to the San Francisco Airport and I love that! It's so much easier than the old $2 shuttle to to the airport. Last time my hubby and I traveled back from Mexico, we caught BART from the station and it was so easy. I really loved that! The line closes pretty early. At one point, I was leaving a concert, Taj Majal in the city and my husband, his son and I had to crawl under the gate as it was closing to get into the station. For such a lively, party city, they should have later trains than they do. So, while I don't go to SF much, I'm glad that I can make it. Also, I love that if I need to take Muni, I'm able to get on at a station or close to a station. I do wish that it went more places than it does, but it is what it is. It goes where it goes and that's fine. But there are other places that I'd like to go to in the city and can't get there because BART doesn't go there. But it's there when I need it, so it's all good.

REVIEWER # 3 PROS:…read more-BART is VERY convenient (Well, so I thought). I decided to move work locations because, honestly, public transportation is better than driving to work especially with the high increase of traffic within the last couple of years. -BART has stations in almost all key parts of the Bay Area. There is literally no need to drive in the Bay Area! CONS: -BART is not the MOST reliable form of transportation. No matter how early I get up for work....I can NEVER make it to work on time because of those damn BART delays! COME ON, BART! We have to get better at this. I do understand that "things happen" but this is happening WAYYYY to much. -Every other morning there seems to be come suspicious activity happening in SAn Francisco BART Stations and once my train gets to West Oakland Bart the operator announces that the BART train is going out of service! WHAT? INSANE! So EVERYONE off boards the train then 2 minute later the operator comes back and states that the train is back in service! OMG! TIP for you? Why don't you tell your operators to NOT off board people on the train until they are CERTAIN the train will be going out of service, please! -Okay, I understand that there have been new operators and it may be there first time driving a big train BUT I am really starting to hate the sudden stops that occur when I am trying to enjoy my ride. The operators slam on the brakes and all you see are people flying all over the train. I have to admit that there have been times that I have lost my balance because of the sudden stops. Please BART, let's get it together! I have to admit, that I thought BART topped any and all public transportation in the world until I went to Hong Kong and seen there transportation and was WOW'd! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/%E6%B8%AF%E9%90%B5%E6%9F%AF%E5%A3%AB%E7%94%B8%E7%AB%99-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF?select=Pr1Qk5KD0JY_C0YpMwsBdw BART, just a word of advice? How about you follow the model from HK and I truly believe that we can reduce some of the delays and people killing themselves on the tracks! I really hope BART gets better at these delays! It's frustrating and quite ridiculous, if you ask me! Let's work on being on time. Oh yea, what happened to the new trains that we are supposed to be seeing? Oh yea and you give fees for riders who take up 2 seats, right? Well, who is responsible for catching those people? Because every morning the homeless are sleeping on the seats and ride the train from start to end and NO ONE is able to sit down! ARGHH! If you implement rules I think you should have BART Police monitoring trains. What do you think?

I now have to take public transportation from Outer Richmond (33rd Avenue) to Financial District…read more(Bush and Montgomery) Monday-Friday every morning because of my new job. I personally do not like the 38 Geary bus because it's not very clean, the trip takes about 40-45 minutes and seem to always be crowded. My prayers were answered when I found out from sfmuni.com that I can take 38AX to work every morning. The bus is filled with working professionals and not very crowded considering it's not a double bus. My morning commute from point A (33rd Ave) to B (Montgomery/Bush) only takes 20-25 minutes because after stopping at 25th Avenue, the bus cruises down Geary, turns left of Masonic and right on Bush and doesn't stop until my final destination. The 38AX is so quick and convenient that I wished it ran more often than just during rush hours. The best part about 38AX is that you can sit in the front seats and do not have to worry about giving up your seat to seniors and persons with disability. I would never take the regular 38 bus or 38L when I have a choice of taking the 38AX :-)! If you do end up standing up because of no empty seat, make sure to hold on tight because the bus speeds down Bush street and breaks abruptly at times.

Especially if the buses are crossing areas with heavy traffic like 16th & Mission St. It's understandable that it'll a couple of minutes late in that situation. I just wish they would install the timers at all of the bus stops so that those without internet access on their phones can know when the next bus is coming too. Edit: 3/20 Case in point. Last night at around 8pm I was waiting for a 22 at Fillmore & Jackson. Nextbus said the NextBus would arrive in 34 minutes. So I took the 24 down to Geary and took the next 38 which arrived in 1 minute. I took it all the way down to Van Ness and noticed that the next 49 was coming in 53 minutes. The 47 was there and I checked NextBus for upcoming J car (in 8 minutes) and I was able to catch the train and get home. So in a sense, a knowledge of where the lines go together with NextBus allows me to plan alternate routes if a bus I rely on is late. It's better than the old days of just waiting and waiting there.

But why would anyone ever take a bus from BART station to BART station when BART is faster? Well, sometime between late 2018 and early 2020, BART had a major problem on its Red Line. I was on the train headed to work that morning, and when we stopped at MacArthur Station, the train operator helpfully informed us passengers that there was a major issue up ahead and the train would be holding indefinitely. Mind you, I rode BART every weekday from San Francisco to Downtown Berkeley for almost ten years. This was not my first BART major-issue/meltdown rodeo, and while I had used some clever tricks to get from affected station to non-affected station--or to bypass affected station altogether--I had never just gotten off the train and sought a form of transportation other than my feet. But I couldn't very well walk from MacArthur Station to Downtown Berkeley, so I pulled out my phone and decided to ride AC Transit for the first time in many years. I was able to find the stop easily enough, and I was surprised by how direct (and quick) the bus ride to Downtown Berkeley was. All of this despite how long it took the the bus to pick up and let off passengers at each stop. There were many other frazzled BART riders with me early on, but most of them had left the bus long before we got to Southside Berkeley. The bus driver then informed us that there was an issue with his regular route, so he would be detouring in such-and-such a way. I had no idea what his regular route was, but I knew where he was headed, so I stayed put. Worst-case scenario, I'd get off the bus south of campus and walk to work. But the bus ended up where it was supposed to, and I was only about twenty minutes late for work. All my previous nervousness about my Clipper Card not having enough regular money (as opposed to BART-specific money) stored on it was like most of my nervousness: completely unnecessary but also ridiculously indefatigable. So thanks, AC Transit 6 bus! You really made my day that day, and I predicted then that I would have ridden you again by now, but COVID, and the world, etc.
