Route description
Starting at the outbound terminus located at Presidio Avenue and California Street, buses follow a loop that includes Walnut and Sacramento streets before returning to Presidio. From there, the route proceeds northward to Jackson Street. The line then turns onto Jackson, continues to Fillmore Street, and heads south along Fillmore until reaching Sutter Street. Outbound buses utilize Sutter Street beginning at the inbound terminal on Sansome Street. Inbound vehicles leave Sutter at Laguna, travel east on Post Street to Kearny, and then return via Bush and Sansome streets.
History
The origin of this line traces back to 1866 when the Sutter Street Railway operated as a horsecar service, later transitioning to cable car technology in 1877.
In 1902, it merged into the United Railroads of San Francisco, which eventually became known as the Market Street Railway. Following 1909, the route was identified as 3 Sutter–Jackson. The San Francisco Municipal Railway assumed control in 1944. Streetcar operations ceased on July 3, 1949, with diesel buses taking over until trolleybus service commenced on January 21, 1951.
Operations were halted on April 8, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and have remained inactive since.
