Regular SF Muni service resumes between Embarcadero and Van Ness stations, agency says

SAN FRANCISCO -- Muni Metro service has been restored between the Embarcadero and Van Ness stations on Wednesday afternoon after an equipment problem, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.

Muni officials initially reported around 12:30 p.m. a problem with overhead equipment on the light-rail line between the Embarcadero and Montgomery stations.

As of shortly after 2:30 p.m., the Muni Metro stations at Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell, Civic Center and Van Ness were closed while maintenance personnel work to fix the problem.

Bus shuttles took passengers between the affected stations during the service disruption, according to Muni officials.

As of 3:20 p.m., Muni said repair work has been done, and is sending a train through the area to make sure regular service can resume.

At 3:34 p.m., Muni said regular service resumed with residual delays.

SFMTA told ABC7 the cause was due to an overhead issue.
