Want faster transit on Van Ness? Take a look at the EIS-EIR for Bus Rapid Transit on Van Ness, which is now available for public review. Rescue Muni is a long-time supporter of this project, which could speed service by many minutes per trip on this important transit corridor. Please review and comment on this important study! Details are at the project webpage, and we hope to hold a general meeting to provide an update on this project soon.
Update: SPUR is holding a lunchtime forum on this today, November 7.

Starting today, the SFMTA is using part time drivers to fill routes. Under negotiation under 2010’s Prop. G and Muni’s union, the SFMTA can hire part time drivers even when full time driver positions are available. The agency can expect to save nearly $900,000 with this move, hiring 25 part timers total. Riders can expect to see additional service for rush hour service on lines such as the 1-California, the 8-Bayshore and the 31-Balboa express.
On Tuesday, the Geneva Streetcar Yard will be renamed to honor the late Cameron Beach, who died suddenly in March of this year. Mr. Beach was a long-time advocate for better mass transit and particularly for historic streetcar service, and before serving on the SFMTA board was executive diredtor of Sacramento Regional Transit.
We applaud this move by the SFMTA to honor Mr. Beach for his many years of service to transit riders.
