The following adjustments have been made on Shuttle Timetables which take effect on Monday, August 29th:

1.　 Loop service between 6am and 7am will pick-up passengers on 5th Street, at the corner of 5th & Market. There’s a white loading zone just before the mailboxes at the corner where riders will board.

2.　 Time has been added to all routes after 8:15am and after 5pm. Note this changes pick-up times both at the BART station and at your stops in Mission Bay.

3.　 MB Shuttle is experimenting with a ‘flexible’ route from Mission Bay back to BART on the East route.

• In the morning, buses will return to BART directly via either 3rd or 4th Street.
• In the evening, buses will serve Caltrain on Townsend between 3pm and 5pm.
• After 5pm, buses will serve Caltrain via 4th Street. Customers going to Caltrain will get off the shuttle at the China Basin building.
• After 5pm, if there are no Caltrain customers, drivers will either return to BART via Third, Fourth, or Seventh Street, depending on traffic.
• Over the next few weeks, MB Shuttle hopes to determine which route is best to get from Mission Bay back to Mission Street. Once this is established, the schedule will be revised to reflect new timing if necessary.

Heating and air conditioning equipment seem to break down when you most need it on the coldest or hottest day of the year. There are some simple preventive maintenance, trouble shooting and techniques that can help keep the unit working properly.

• It is very important to change your air filter as often as needed. Twice a year before summer and winter are a good time to change the filter depending on conditions and use. Every other or every three month can be needed. A higher efficiency filter with a MERV rating of nine (9) or higher may need to be changed more frequently at least every other or three months depending on conditions and use. Remove the old filter and install a new filter. Check the side of the filter for the air flow direction arrow before installing the filter.
• Program your thermostat according to your schedule for when home and away for energy efficiency.
• Check the thermostat if the unit is not heating or cooling to make sure it is on and is set a few degrees above for heat or below for air conditioning of the temperature displayed on the thermostat.
• If condensation water is detected coming from the unit shut it down and call for repair.
• If ice is forming on the evaporator coil when the air conditioner is on or if the unit is not maintaining temperature, the unit is most likely low on refrigerant and you should call for repair.
• It is recommended that an annual routine maintenance and inspection be performed on the system to help keep the unit working properly.
