History
The M Ocean View line commenced operations on October 6, 1925. It was substituted by bus service in 1939, but streetcar operations were reinstated in 1944.
In 2022, the SFMTA launched the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, part of the MuniForward initiative aimed at enhancing service dependability between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Both initial and updated designs included plans for transit bulbs at the Broad and Capitol location. As of October 2023, a "quick-build" phase is planned for late 2023, with comprehensive construction expected to begin in 2026.
