MUNI 14X Mission Express

It drops me off a block away from work. Can’t beat that!

This route stops at every stop just like the 14 making the buses crowded = –1 star.
I like how the 14X gets on freeway after Trumbull St and Stoneybrook Ave going nonstop until 6^th St and Bryant St. The freeway part of this route is fast and gets you straight to Downtown during weekday morning commute hours. Looking for a way to travel between the Excelsior and Downtown during commute hours from Monday-​Friday? The 14X is once again your answer. All other times, 14L will take you straight to downtown making fewer stops providing faster service.
Thank you 14X for being there and getting me from Mission St and Silver Ave to Mission St and 3^rd St in 20 minutes.

If you want to get from Mission St and 5^th St to *6^th St and Harrison* St in 2 – 3 minutes, this route is here for you. I tried it out today, it is fast and this is definitely the best decision to make.
*Last stop before the bus gets on the freeway.*

the express cuts my travel time to 13 minutes, albeit a crowded bus. taking bart entails a bus ride, or mile a walk to the bart station, but the 14X is a short few block walk and a quick ride to get where i’m going!

Thank You Drivers!

I love the news about the high tech cams install, but I want to also say how kind everybody has been to me when I am out and about.
It is difficult to become a gentleman, it is very difficult to become Karina.

I was actually a fan of this bus for commuting with my bike because it isn’t particularly close to my work but if I bike then it is a really quick way to get there. It was never spectacular because it makes too many stops before getting on the freeway that it isn’t nearly as fast as it could be. It really should stop just a few times before getting on the freeway instead of the 20 or so times that it does.
What actually make me think that it was only an OK line was when another biker got turned away because there was no room for his bike. It wasn’t me and I was grateful but it could have been me and I would have been very sad. They probably should have more room for bikes or more frequency. I guess there isn’t any way to allow for more bikes so I guess they just need to be more frequent.

It can get crowded, but it’s still one of the fastest and most reliable ways to get downtown from the Excelsior/​Mission terrace districts during commuting hours.
When Muni changed their schedule last year, the 14x was one of the lucky few that actually received more frequent service. That means, buses every 6 – 7 minutes in the morning, and buses every 10 minutes in the afternoon. And each one inevitably gets packed to the brim.
The majority of folks get off on 3^rd street in the morning, and get on at 4^th street in the afternoon. So if you want a seat, board at an earlier stop in the route if you can.
Service is offered roughly from 6:30am — 8:30am weekday mornings, and weekday afternoons from 4:15pm through 6pm.
Here is the full schedule:

This would have to be my favorite bus line even though I used 44 so much during high school. I currently take this bus to school every day I do have morning classes in downtown and if I’m lucky, I take it home too. it depends on what time. Buses don’t usually run down near my neighborhood except this one and it’s right near the freeway. It’s such a convenience that it goes through the mission and is the closest bus to me, literally a block away… and it takes me right to downtown so I don’t have to go all the way to Glen Park to go to downtown. It just sucks that it only runs the times when people need to go to work in the morning and get off their 9 – 5 work shifts. It’s not crowded but there is almost never any seats when I get on the bus and it kind of sucks ’cause I’m always toting around my huge bag.
