Frequency is 30 min. during these service hours.

Beginning Saturday, March 28th, weekend service will operate from 8AM to 9PM.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place orders, ridership has declined by over 90%.  BART will monitor ridership levels daily to determine how long these reduced hours will be in effect.

Mission Bay Shuttle will be providing Essential Service throughout the mandatory business closures and order to shelter in place as the Bay Area tries to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

We recognize many of you rely on the shuttle and still need to get to and from work.

Our Essential Service Schedule will take effect on Wednesday, March 18th and be in place until further notice.  We believe this level of service will provide the recommended Social Distancing for riders, and buses used will continue to have enhanced cleaning.

The Essential Service Schedule provides one bus on each route, including CCA/Adobe route.
