The stop is also served by bus route 33 plus the J Bus which provides service along the J Church line during the early morning when trains do not operate.[2]
In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward), which included a variety of stop changes for the J Church line. Under that proposal, the westbound platform would be moved inside Dolores Park opposite the eastbound platform.[3]
