Muni Metro underground to reopen at night in time for Super Bowl

Nearly six months of nightly closures of San Francisco’s Muni Metro underground subway to install new communications equipment will come to an end on Saturday as the city gets ready to host big crowds for Super Bowl 50, officials said.



Since late July, workers have been installing a new digital radio system to improve communication between the control center and train operators, officials said.

“The temporary subway closure and accompanying train-to-bus swap are critical for improving safety and reliability on Muni for 155,000 daily Metro riders,” the agency said in a statement.
