San Francisco Muni: The Bay Area's busiest transit agency is suspending express bus lines running to the city's largely deserted Financial District. The following lines will not run Tuesday:

Jeffrey Tumlin, the city's director of transportation, said at a Monday evening press briefing the changes were designed "to reallocate service to our neighborhood lines and lines that serve our critical health care facilities so that our passengers can maintain social distancing while on the bus."
Muni is also shutting down its cable cars and E- and F-line streetcars and replacing them with bus shuttles. Tumlin said those changes are being made to insure that Muni operators can remain in partitioned cabs, with minimal exposure to passengers. More information: COVID 19 Developments and Response.
