BART plans to close its tracks between Glen Park and Daly City stations over seven weekends, from the end of July through October, to make vital repairs and install noise-reducing equipment. Balboa Park Station will be closed for BART service, but Muni Metro lines will remain in service to and from the station.

To help bridge the gap during these weekend closures, Muni and SamTrans will provide free bus shuttles. We’ll also have extra service on alternative Muni routes.
