The stop is also served by the Nx bus, a weekday peak hours service that provides express service from the east end of the N Judah line to the Financial District, plus the N Bus and N Owl bus routes, which provide service along the N Judah line during the early morning and late night hours respectively when trains do not operate.[2]
Platform construction
edit
In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward). A variety of stop changes were proposed for the N Judah line, including extensions of the existing boarding islands at 28th Avenue.[3]
Two subprojects – 28th Avenue, and Irving Street between 9th Avenue and Arguello – were selected for early implementation in coordination with rail replacement and seismic refitting of the Sunset Tunnel. 28th Avenue was prioritized for construction of handicapped accessible platforms to halve the 17-block, 1-mile gap between existing accessible stops at Judah and Sunset and Judah and 19th Avenue. Muni began construction of the eastbound platform on November 10, 2014.[4] The eastbound platform was placed in service on February 6, 2015, followed by the westbound platform on March 31.[5][6]
