Temporal Patterns

Hourly ridership patterns differ across locations. Columbus Ave & Broadway experiences higher activity later in the day, from 3 PM to 11 PM, while Kearny St & Clay St sees its greatest usage during the morning and midday period, between 9 AM and 2 PM.

Contextual Factors

Two non-Chinatown stops also record significant activity. Stop 38 (Kearny & Geary St) shows elevated ridership due to its location in a major transit hub area. Stop 46 (Columbus Ave & Green St) serves as both an entry point to North Beach and a key destination adjacent to North East Medical Services (NEMS), a critical community facility for many Chinese residents.
