Rescue Muni

Wonder why your bus still stops on every block, even though budgets are being cut to the bone? According to SF Streetsblog, MTA stop consolidation (which would speed up service and was proposed in the SFTEP, and which we have supported for years) has been put on the back burner due to the recent budget cuts. If you comment on the proposal at the upcoming MTA Board meeting, make sure to mention this zero-cost way to speed up service.

In response to SFMTA’s budget deficit and threatened service cuts and fare hikes, the Sierra Club San Francisco Group has some policy recommendations.

This is your last chance to let us know what you think about the December 5th service changes by filling out our survey! The last day to submit a survey will be January 2nd, after which we will crunch the numbers and find out if you, the rider, think these changes have been satisfactory, or less than satisfactory.

The SF Appeal reports inbound delays of 20 minutes or more on the Market Street subway. As usual the cause is problems with the train control system (which caused meltdowns way back in 1998). Check NextMuni before you ride!

Has your Muni experience gotten better or worse since the December 5th changes? We want to know! Complete our survey for the line you ride the most, or more than once if you take multiple lines. Fill out the survey here. Please retweet the survey link and spread the word that we want to hear how the changes have impacted Muni’s riders!
