Downed wires affect Muni subway service

Around 7:30 Wednesday evening, a Muni Service Alert said the following:

"As of 7:30 p.m., Muni Metro subway service in both directions between Embarcadero and Castro stations is not expected to resume until the beginning of service on Thursday morning.

Bus shuttles continue to provide service in both directions on Market Street between Embarcadero and Castro.

SFMTA crews are repairing overhead wires on the inbound direction near Van Ness Station. The SFMTA is investigating the cause of the overhead wire problem.

Additional note: Muni transfers will be honored on BART this evening within San Francisco per a mutual aid agreement between the two transit agencies."
