Due to a $50 million budget shortfall, we likely have to make cuts to Muni service this summer. We suggested three potential approaches to our Board of Directors at our Feb. 4 meeting. We received feedback from both our Board and the public. Now, we want to hear from you and other Muni riders across […]

Three local bus routes might come to a full stop
(This has been updated to add a third endangered bus line) The San Francisco Chronicle reported today that, due to the extreme financial crisis precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting decline in Muni ridership, up to 20 of the least-used bus lines might be scrapped as soon as this summer. Those include the 35-Eureka, […]
Muni’s 10 Worst Delay Spots

J Church Change
MUNI rail service will resume in August, but the J Church will stop at Market Street, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. The shortened route is meant to speed service in the tunnel and above ground, as explained on the website and excerpted here: Our subway system moves our highest volumes of […]

The inefficiency and unreliability of the J-Church has commuters up in arms. Supervisor Mandelman has been working with SFMTA and the community –Upper Noe Neighbors had an open house November 18 — to work out solutions to the problem-riddled Muni line. Read about it here.

Not a great track record for Muni buses serving Glen Park
The best and worst on-time performing Muni bus lines, ranked Last week Curbed SF examined SFMTA’s latest data dump about Muni light rail’s on-time performance—or rather, its lack thereof. By comparison, Muni bus service is far more reliable than its trains. And yet, not a single bus line in the city is even close to Muni’s stated […]
Gridlock Grips Glen Park
On a fairly typical late Tuesday morning in Glen Park, a huge truck full of pet chow made its delivery to Critter Fritters. How it managed to make its way onto Chenery Street wasn’t captured in a photo, unfortunately. It was just too much for the narrow commercial street, with parked cars on both sides (and […]
City Agency Hearings + Mandelman Legislation
It’s worth reading the legislation Mandelman and others are introducing in the Rules Committee under the 30-day rule (see below under Mandelman Legislation). Awarding contracts without competitive bidding seems a little odd, though the rest could conceivably improve homelessness services that much more. There will be a Zoning Variance Hearing Wednesday, January 23, 9:30 […]

Traffic problems have been exacerbated by the route of the 35 Eureka bus line on Miguel, which has a very steep grade with abrupt changes. Residents have voiced concern about the situation for quite some time. Tuesday, July 31 6:30 – 7:30 […]
Most walkers are not texting when crossing streets, says a new study
Here’s an article that debunks received wisdom about “distracted walking.” The results of a study appear to exonerate distracted pedestrians as the cause of vehicular accidents, but caution against complacency. https://www.curbed.com/2018/6/21/17477026/distracted-walking-pedestrian-deaths-crosswalk
Heads Up: MUNI Service Changes Are Coming
