Fleet Week adds Muni service and limits waterfront robotaxi pickups
For the October 9–11 air shows, San Francisco plans extra Muni 28/49 service and a 10 a.m.–6 p.m. restriction on autonomous-vehicle pickups and drop-offs in a designated waterfront area.
The Fleet Week air show is scheduled for noon–4 p.m., Friday through Sunday, October 9–11.
For those heading to the waterfront, SFMTA plans extra service on the 28 and 49 routes from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. These are San Francisco local times: Pacific Daylight Time. [1][2]
Autonomous vehicles face a separate 10 a.m.–6 p.m. pickup and drop-off restriction in the designated waterfront area and adjoining corridors. This is not a citywide ban on autonomous driving, and ordinary taxis and app-based rides are outside that geofence rule. They can still encounter traffic and street closures. [1]
Check the official map and service page before choosing a meeting point. On Saturday and Sunday, F streetcars turn back at Pier 39 from noon to 5 p.m. The city also offers event alerts: text FLEETWEEKSF to 888-777. Announced routes and times can still change with operations and weather. [1][2]
