MUNI – 14R Mission Rapid

+ Fast as it skips stops
+ Fairly frequent
+ If you want to get away from the tech crowd, this is it!
— Crowded

The 14 R is a limited stop line all the way to Mission and Spear and it’s always crowded by the time it gets to 24^th st and more so by 16^th Street but that’s to be expected.

+2 Stars for the 14R-​Mission Rapid skipping stops.
–3 Stars for not skipping enough stops and Muni Numbers top 1 slowness.

I’ve been riding the 14L as long as I can remember I been have been taking to Mission & Geneva and it only takes at least 10 mins from Mission & Evergreen and takes me 40 mins to get Downtown than the 14 which will take me at least an hour and 15 mins just to get to Downtown. The 14L is more quicker and makes less stops. Just know which stop to get off. Overall, it’s the best line on Mission St to get to your destination faster.

I’ve been riding this bus to downtown. I mean if you live nearby Geneva & Mission, this bus is your BEST FRIEND. It normally takes approximately 35 minutes to travel from Mission & Geneva to Market & 3^rd. Sometimes it gets a little crowded during commute hours, but not as bad as the 8X bus. Normally runs in every 8 – 12 minutes everyday, that’s what I like about the 14L. Commute hours from Daly city BART to Ferry Plaza: 6 — 9 AM, 4 — 7 PM (INBOUND & OUTBOUND)
So as it appears, I used to ride the 8x Bayshore Express bus from Geneva & Mission all the way to Market & 3^rd. Man that took about 40 minutes to commute and I literally fell asleep… So yeah have fun!

I enjoy taking the 14L Mission Limited since it is much faster than the 14 Mission. For those of us who take MUNI to get around, we already know that 14 Mission makes all stops so it is much slower. The 14L Mission Limited makes fewer stops providing faster service.
Effective January 21, 2012:
— 14L Mission Limited provides service to and from Daly City BART during commute hours, here is the schedule:
Monday — Friday:
A. Inbound to Ferry Plaza:
— Morning Rush Hour: 6:00 am — 9:00 am
— Late Afternoon and Early Evening Rush Hour: 4:32 pm — 6:02 pm
B. Outbound to Daly City BART Station:
— Morning Rush Hour: 7:36 am — 8:50 am
— Late Afternoon and Early Evening Rush Hour: 4:19 pm — 7:55 pm
I am actually liking this service since it takes passengers directly to Daly City BART Station. They can transfer to BART, SamTrans and San Francisco State University Shuttle as well as MUNI Routes 28 19^th Ave, 28L 19^th Ave Limited & 54 Felton. It is very true to a certain extent if you say that the 14L Mission Limited is crowded since this route is among one of MUNI’s most crowded bus routes. The buses getting crowded is a headache for the drivers and passengers. The 5-​star rating is for the fact that this route makes fewer stops to provide faster service and this part just scored bonus points.

All I have to say is this: PAY ATTENTION. And if you’re boarding this bus, be sure to ask the bus driver where is the nearest stop to your destination. And then, BE READY.
Otherwise, prepare for a hike when the bus finally does stop two to four blocks after your destination.
In general, it’s an okay bus; and the concept is sound. But some drivers:
A. Forget they’re driving a «Limited Stops» and stop at EVERY F**KING STOP (this one gets my blood boiling).
B. Don’t pass other buses that are NOT limited.
C. Treat you like shit if you are not aware that you have boarded a 14L bus, and openly scorn you, laugh at you, or otherwise make you feel like a total pain in their ass when you sweetly and politely suggest that they pull over so you can deboard.
Concept: 4 stars.
Execution: 2 stars.
So 3 stars it is.
