History
Starting August 31, 1991, J Church and N Judah trains utilized the San Jose Avenue extension for carhouse movements; regular J Church service commenced on June 19, 1993. The K Ingleside line previously made stops inside the yard loop at San Jose and Ocean until April 25, 2015, when that stop was eliminated following the inauguration of an accessible platform at Balboa Park.
In March 2014, Muni's Transit Effectiveness Project (later renamed MuniForward) suggested multiple adjustments for the J Church line; however, none involved changes at San Jose and Ocean. Likewise, the J Church Safety and Accessibility Project, approved in October 2023, does not propose alterations to this station, though transit-only lanes will be introduced north of Ocean Avenue.
