Tomorrow the San Francisco 49ers will host their first pre-season game, facing off against the Minnesota Vikings at 6 p.m. at Candlestick Park.

To accommodate Central Subway construction on Stockton and 4th streets, the southbound 79X Candlestick Express, which provides express service to the 49ers game from downtown, will be re-routed all season.

Customers traveling to the game can board the 79X Candlestick Express at the following locations:

• Sutter and Sansome
• Sutter and Kearny
• Mason and Geary
• Cyril Magnin and Market
• 5th Street and Mission
• 5th Street and Howard
• 5th Street and Folsom

The southbound buses will then travel express to Candlestick Park. Northbound buses will remain on their regular route.

More information about the 79X Candlestick Express and other 49ers game service is available in this press release from the SFMTA.

To accommodate Central Subway construction, the Muni 8X Bayshore Express bus line will be re-routed in July. 

Starting Wednesday, July 11, the southbound 8^X/8^AX/8^BX Bayshore Express and 91 Owl Muni bus lines will be re-routed to accommodate Central Subway construction in Union Square and SoMa. The re-routes may remain in effect throughout the duration of the Central Subway Project. Northbound service on these routes will remain unchanged.

The routes, which currently travel south on Stockton and 4th streets, will instead follow Mason and 5th streets through Union Square and SoMa. The modified routes will travel around construction activity, including tunnel preparation work and station construction, as the project progresses in these areas.

Ambassadors will be in the field from July 11 to July 15 to help Muni customers navigate the route changes. For more about the upcoming re-routes, including information in Chinese and Spanish, download the SFMTA’s re-route brochure and check out this press release from the SFMTA.

Earlier this year, the SFMTA re-routed the 30 Stockton and 45 Union/Stockton bus lines around Central Subway construction. These re-routes will remain in effect.
