About the route

The 24 Divisadero is a crosstown trolley bus route between Pacific Heights at Jackson & Fillmore and the Bay View at 3rd Street & Palou, primarily via Divisadero St, Castro St, and Cortland Ave. It offers 24-hour service, with overnight trips operating only between Divisadero & Sutter in the north and Cortland & Bayshore in the east.

The 24 bus began service in 1941 as a diesel route from Pacific Heights to Castro & 25th, replacing the cable car service on Castro Street built in 1888 by Market Street Cable Railway, which extended onto Market Street to the Ferry Building. The Market Street portion of the cable car was converted to a streetcar after the 1906 earthquake, and cable cars on Castro between 18th Street and 26th Street continued until 1941. The bus route adopted the number and also replaced the "24 Mission and Richmond" streetcar route that ran on Divisadero between Page and Sacramento.

In 1982, Route 24 extended east from Castro & 25th to the Bay View, with service on Cortland that was once served by the 24 streetcar. The route was electrified the following year.
