SFMTA schedules the 37 Corbett’s regular route return with smaller buses
SFMTA’s September 25 notice scheduled the 37 Corbett’s return to its regular route for September 28, restoring access through streets the substitute buses could not navigate.
The size of a bus can decide whether a familiar stop remains usable.
SFMTA’s September 25 update scheduled the return of 30-foot buses to the 37 Corbett on Monday, September 28, allowing the route to resume its normal path.
Larger, 40-foot replacement buses had been unable to negotiate some narrow streets and tight turns. The inbound detour bypassed Buena Vista Terrace, Buena Vista Avenue East and Upper Terrace, requiring some riders to use alternative stops. Restoring the regular routing therefore concerns access to the neighbourhood as much as the vehicle itself.
This archived entry records the announced restoration, rather than an independently observed service run or an increase in frequency. SFMTA now labels the original notice as older content. Anyone planning a journey should consult the current 37 Corbett timetable and live travel updates; the dated announcement remains useful for understanding what changed and why.
