The 9 lines terminate at Mission and Geneva leaving a gap from there
to Balboa Park and City College.
The 54 is more of a rumor than a line. It stops at my corner. Ideally
I could take it to Balboa Park and then take BART. Having had numerous
waits of 45-60 minutes I now drive to Glen Park. By the way, Muni recent
rerouted the 54 to add 10 minutes or more to the part between my house
and Balboa Park.
