History
Service on 30th Street between Guerrero and Chenery Streets commenced on April 27, 1892, under the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Railway (SF&SM), which later became part of the Market Street Railway. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the San Mateo line was redirected to Mission Street; meanwhile, routes 26 and 10 continued running along Church Street on the former SF&SM alignment until route 10 was discontinued on January 27, 1940.
On August 31, 1991, J Church and N Judah trains began utilizing a J Church extension along 30th Street and San Jose Avenue for carhouse movements. Although this extension was open to passengers from that time, regular scheduled service with stops officially started on June 19, 1993.
In March 2014, Muni introduced the Transit Effectiveness Project (later renamed MuniForward), which proposed installing transit bulbs at the intersection of 30th Street and Dolores to remove the necessity for passengers to cross traffic lanes. A more modest initial plan announced in November 2019 includes certain stop improvements.
