N Judah Now Runs Every Nine Minutes at Peak Hours — A Direct Win for Sunset Riders

SFMTA's new service schedule, effective August 29, shaves a minute off peak-hour waits on Muni's busiest rail line, which terminates at Ocean Beach.

Sunset and Parkside riders who depend on the N Judah got a concrete improvement last Saturday: as of August 29, the train now arrives every nine minutes during peak hours instead of every ten, under a package of systemwide Muni service changes implemented by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. The N Judah is Muni's busiest rail line, carrying an average of 38,600 weekday passengers as of June 2026, according to SFMTA ridership data. It connects Ocean Beach and the Outer Sunset to the Inner Sunset, Cole Valley, and downtown San Francisco.
