Rescue Muni Issues Central Subway Fact Sheet
Rescue Muni has put together a Central Subway Fact Sheet that debunks many of the claims opponents of the project have been making of late. While we support debate and don’t expect everyone to agree with our support of the Central Subway (even some of our own members), we feel that it is important to challenge many of the assertions being made by Save Muni and others that distort the debate. We strongly feel that when people truly understand the benefits of the Central Subway, most will strongly support the project.
Central Subway Fact Sheet
Opponents Claim: Central Subway will not provide a connection to the Market Street Subway.
Fact: Central Subway will provide a sheltered, underground connection to the Market Street Subway.
Opponents Claim: Transferring from the Central Subway to Market Street Subway will be inefficient.
Fact: Central Subway will provide a much improved transfer over the current transfer between the Market Street Subway’s Powell Street Station and the 30/45/8X bus lines.
- Currently, travellers endure a truly horrendous experience getting from Powell Street Station to the northbound bus stop for the 30/45/8X at Kearny and Market Street, which requires riders to walk at street level for a .25-mile stretch (1,320 feet and 2 ½ long blocks) along Market Street.
- The Union Square/Market Street Central Subway station is only .15 (792 feet) miles to the Powell Street Station. Walk times between the two platforms will average around 5 minutes.
- The Central Subway will provide a much shorter and efficient transfer for travellers going northbound on the Central Subway from the Powell Street Station.
- The Central Subway will provide a comparable transfer for travellers transferring from southbound Central Subway trains to the Powell Street Station by eliminating delays buses suffer as they traverse through the congested Stockton corridor.
- Travelers have the choice of using escalators and elevators.
- Underground walkways efficiently connect metro rail stations all over the world.
Opponents Claim: Central Subway is too deep for an efficient transfer to the Market Street Subway.
Fact: Riders transferring will not have to travel all the way to the surface. Rather they will be able to use an underground concourse, which is at the same level as the fare gates at Powell Street Station.
Opponents Claim: Central Subway will have longer “perceived” trip times than current bus service.
Fact: Save Muni and others are distorting the facts about the projects travel times by quoting “perceived” travel times, rather than “actual” travel times. They have multiplied all walk times to and from stations and wait times at platforms by 2.3.
Route | Save Muni “Perceived” Average Travel Times of Central Subway | Actual Average Travel Times of Central Subway |
Pacific and Stockton to Caltrain | Walk (to station) – 11.1 min
Wait (at platform) – 5.8 min Riding Time – 6.3 min Walk (from station) – 2.2 min Total – 25.4 min |
Walk (to station) – 4.8 min
Wait (at platform) – 2.5 min Riding time – 6.3 min Walk (from station) – 1 min Total – 14.6 min Distortion: almost 11 min per trip |
Pacific and Stockton to Market Street Subway (Muni Metro) | Walk (to station) – 11.1 min
Wait (at platform) – 5.8 min Riding time – 1.8 min Walk (from station) – 4.4 min Total – 18.4 |
Walk (to station)– 4.8 min
Wait (at platform) – 2.5 min Riding time – 1.8 min Walk (from transit) – 1.9 min Total – 11 minutes Distortion: 7.3 minutes per trip |
Opponents Claim: Current bus travel time between Pacific and Stockton to Caltrain is 10 minutes.
Fact: Typically this bus takes approximately 15-20 minutes at off-peak times, and 20-35 minutes at rush hour.
- They are using best-case scenario bus travel times, ignoring the frequently congested Stockton and 3rd/4th Street corridors that severely delays bus, especially at rush hour.
- Their assumption of a 10-minute bus travel time from Pacific and Stockton to Caltrain appears to be an error. Even if corrected to 15-minute travel times, this is often not achieved.
Opponents Claim: Central Subway eliminates running service from existing T-Line along the Embarcadero and into the Market Street Subway.
Fact: While SFMTA currently envisions eliminating T-Line service along Embarcadero to the Market Street subway, there is no physical barrier to running some T-Line trains along this route in the future.
- There is still the possibility to run some T-line trains along the Embarcadero/ Market Street Subway route if demand warrants. This may be desirable during rush hour to provide a one-seat ride to high-employment destinations at the Embarcadero and Montgomery Stations.
Opponents Claim: We can recapture $475-595M in capital funds if we cancel the Central Subway.
Fact: We would lose all $948 million in federal funds. It is also very questionable if we could reclaim any of the $369 million in state funds. Redirecting local Proposition K funds ($123 million) to other projects would violate the intent of the voters.
- If the Central Subway is delayed or canceled, all federal funds and most if not all state funds would be redirected to other projects outside of San Francisco. There have been calls to “return to the drawing board” for a more efficient, less expensive plan. This option is not a reality for the Central Subway. The New Starts funding is the result of a decade of applications, data and advocacy. To lose this money would mean losing all of the jobs for the people that are currently being employed and will soon be employed.
Opponents Claim: We could save $189 million in operating costs.
Fact: Annual operating costs would be $15 million for the Central Subway.
- The claim of $189 million operating subsidies would be stretched over 12 years. This is a trick to make the number look huge. Analyzing operating costs annually is the correct methodology.
- The “no project” alternative of doing nothing and not increasing operating costs is not feasible. Today’s service is already inadequate to accommodate existing ridership, not to mention a total inability to accommodate increased transit ridership in the corridor in the future.
Opponents Ignore the Following Benefits of the Central Subway’s Union Square/Market Street Station
- The Central Subway will dramatically improve the experience of existing transit riders, who endure unacceptable crowding and slow service.
- The Central Subway will alleviate congestion for current riders as well as to accommodate additional ridership. As of 2008, 54,193 people currently board the 30, 45 and 8X each day. The Stockton corridor is one of the most congested in the City.
- Much more convenient access to Union Square.
- Much more comfortable experience for all users.
- Much more legible experience for all users will encourage additional usage of Muni.
- Much safer conditions for handicap and elderly users.

Let’s pretend for the moment that the Central Subway is a bad idea, and somehow it gets cancelled. The federal funding wouldn’t go to a Geary Subway, it would go to a city like Cleveland that doesn’t have the density or projected growth that SF has. nnLet’s now say that we’re okay with Cleveland getting our subway funding, what does San Francisco get? Where would money come from for a Geary Subway? Certainly the city of SF isn’t in line to get a large amount of federal funding for a while, and even if she did, it would be at least a decade of political battles, EIRs, and neighbours fighting each other over parking space before the first shovel of dirt was dug.nnWe MUST grow our transit infrastructure. SF’s population is at a record peak, exceeding the historic 1950’s record. Count in illegal immigrants that aren’t part of the count and daily commuters from out of town, and we probably have 1.3M people during a weekday. nnWithout additional infrastructure, such as the Geary BRT, Van Ness BRT, and the Central Subway, our city won’t be able to handle the load from growth. With just the resources we have, our fair city simply does not have what it takes to grow into an even greater world class city for future generations.

more truthfully put, dysfunctional as the design is, u00a0we are stuck with it because backing out means years of waiting for another turn at the FTA corporate welfare (transit is the byproduct) trough. u00a0 The stations will have inadequately short platforms for the growth you cite, and the ## for the Market St transfer are u00a0bogus. u00a0u00a0

I’m confused. I have heard that the subway either does not have the ridership to justify being built, and now you are saying the platform length isn’t long enough to support the growth. Both can’t be true.

u00a0Actually they are. u00a0The Central Subway is so expensive per mile that it needs high ridership to reduce the cost per passenger.yet, in the last several years as the estimate ballooned, station capacity was reduced to save expense. u00a0 So with increased population and perhaps the fabled extension further north, the subway will be maxed out at low net ridership. u00a0 Of course, if we are lucky, by then Muni might have bought a real signalling/train control system and more short trains could run per hour, but I would not take that bet. u00a0u00a0

I am having a hard time agreeing with you on the cost per passenger. You’ve been around in the transit scene for a while, so maybe you can help me out. Let’s say the price per passenger when the system was proposed 10 years ago was $1. It is now 2011, and the value of the dollar has dropped 82%*, so the price per passenger in 2011 dollars is $1.82. The cost hasn’t gone UP, the value of the money the public is spending has gone down. Given this fact, is the cost per passenger really that insane? (* based on average gold price of $300/oz in 2001 versus today’s close at $1650/oz).

So the $ value shifts account for some of the cost creep but not all. u00a0A media story within the last two years disclosed that they had neglected to plan/cost out a proper ventilation system for the Union Square Station.

In real dollars, LRV passengers cost the MTA about $3-$4 (you can look the exact number up in the Short Range Transit Plan on the MTA’s web site).u00a0 The trolley coach passengers (like the riders of the 30) cost the MTA under $2.u00a0 The existing proposal for the subway to nowhere is going to end up swapping the least expensive mode of transit the MTA operates for the most expensive (save for the cable cars which run about $7 per passenger trip I believe).nnGiven that, I’m not quite sure why there’s any confusion.u00a0 The short and long term realities aren’t necessarily identical.u00a0 There’s not enough density now to justify the expense PLUS the way the subway is designed now won’t ever allow for enough density to ever justify the operational expense.u00a0 As far as I’m concerned if you’re going to artificially cap passenger density at such low levels you shouldn’t go with the most expensive (to build and operate) mode of transit around.nnLook, I’d LOVE to see a subway along Stockton St, but only if it makes sense.u00a0 Going back and fixing mistakes is costly, and rarely happens.u00a0 Take a look at the SFSU stop and crossover tracks, the MMT, West Portal station, the million dollar Castro crossover, 4th and King, and so on.nnI just want to throw this out there: existing LRV coverage is so sparse that the MTA can afford to find a driver to do burn-in runs for the “new” PCCs during peak hours (~5:30-6).u00a0 So, yeah, while roughly one in two LRVs in revenue service on Taraval were being turned back at Sunset tonight, there was enough room for #1078 to putter around.u00a0 We don’t need more of /that/ style transit.
