Muni and SamTrans Partner on Lake Merced Bus Service
By Enrique Aguilar

Starting March 22, a new program will provide free access to SamTrans Route 122 within San Francisco between Lake Merced Boulevard and Lake Merced Hill. The SFMTA has teamed up with SamTrans to launch this pilot program, which allows residents to sign up to use the 122 while Muni service is limited due to COVID-19.

After applying to the program, customers will be sent an email with a MuniMobile pass link that will be valid for six months. There will be an opportunity to extend the pass if the program is still needed after that, pending the return of Muni’s 57 Parkmerced.

Eight bus stops are identified: Lake Merced & Lake Merced Hill, Lake Merced Boulevard and Brotherhood Way, Lake Merced Boulevard and Higuera Avenue, Lake Merced Boulevard and Font Boulevard, Winston Drive and Lake Merced Boulevard (northbound only), Winston Drive and Buckingham Way (Northbound only), 19th Avenue and Winston Drive, 285 Buckingham Way (southbound only)
