===Service changes===
A lot of service changes took place with the start of full service on the [[T Third Street]] line on April 7, 2007.

The J, N, and S were restored to their previous routes, while the T was combined with the [[K Ingleside]] line.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.sfmuni.com/cms/malerts/ServiceChangesEffectiveJune302007.htm |archive-date=June 24, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070624222728/http://www.sfmuni.com/cms/malerts/ServiceChangesEffectiveJune302007.htm |title=SFMTA announces service changes effective June 30, 2007 |publisher=San Francisco Transportation Agency |date=June 30, 2007}}</ref><ref name=seis>{{cite book |url=https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports/2017/Central_Subway_Final_SEISSEIR_Volume_I_Part1.pdf |pages=3–9 |title=Central Subway Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement / Supplemental Environmental Impact Report |chapter=Chapter 3: Transportation Analysis |date=September 2008 |publisher=Federal Transit Administration |volume=1}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924090929/http://transit.511.org/accessible/schedules/detail.aspx?cid=SF&rte=43875&dir=IB&day=6098&dayid=6098 |archive-date=September 24, 2012 |url=http://transit.511.org/accessible/schedules/detail.aspx?cid=SF&rte=43875&dir=IB&day=6098&dayid=6098 |title=S Inbound Weekday |publisher=511 SF Bay}}</ref>▼
