Service
editIn August 2020, service along the route was replaced by buses to allow for the construction of improvements to the L Taraval line.[2] The project was finished on September 28, 2024, and train service along the line resumed on that day.[3]
The stop is also served by the route 18 bus, plus the L Bus and L Owl bus routes, which provide service along the L Taraval line during the early morning and late night hours respectively when trains do not operate.[4]
