If you’re riding Muni Metro home from work or out shopping, consider alternatives as Muni is experiencing major delays due to signal problems. (Check Muni’s website and Nextbus for the latest details, or consider alternatives.)
While Muni contemplates bus rapid transit and light rail extensions, BART is looking at a long term plan that may include some major capacity improvements, such as a new Transbay Tube and fourth track through downtown Oakland, as well as further extensions into the East Bay suburbs. San Francisco could also be served by a Geary or Van Ness line in some scenarios.
This is a 50 year conceptual plan, so don’t expect tunnel boring machines on your block just yet.
Muni offers passes online, but only from the 10th to the 22nd of each month. (As opposed to hundreds of transit systems worldwide, including Caltrain, where you can buy your pass at any ticket machine.) In any case, if you don’t feel like standing in the line at the cable car turnaround, buy now and the pass will be mailed to you. You can also buy prepaid parking cards.
Detailed article today in the Chronicle about the wide range of issues affecting Muni reliability. In particular, Muni’s chronic budget problems are highlighted, as well as Supervisor Peskin’s proposed labor and budget reforms. Mayor Newsom and Rescue Muni vice chair Daniel Murphy are quoted (among others).
