49 Van Ness/Mission is a trolleybus line operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni).

Route description

See also: Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit

The route runs primarily on Van Ness Avenue and Mission Street. Short turns at the north end terminate at the foot of Van Ness while most buses run further east to Powell Street and Beach Street. To the south, the line turns off Mission at Ocean Avenue and runs to San Francisco City College.

The line benefits from dedicated bus lanes along much of its length. Mission Street features these as far south as 30th Street, and the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit project is planned to implement some BRT features along that street between Mission and Lombard Street.

History

The line began service on August 24, 1983. It provided a replacement for the discontinued 12 Ocean bus.

The line was temporarily dieselized during construction of the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit project.

Ridership

With 25,000 daily boardings, the 49 Van Ness/Mission was Muni's busiest trolleybus service in 2019.
