"Mayor Daniel Lurie announced he’s unilaterally giving Waymo full access to the car-free portion of Market Street this summer.

Join us Tuesday April 15 at the SFMTA Board of Directors hearing to tell the City that returning cars to Car-Free Market Street is a step backwards and will not revitalize downtown.

In person public comments are always most impactful but if you cannot attend the hearing in person, please consider sending public comment in email form to MTABoard@sfmta.com by 12pm Monday, April 14, 2025."

While the Mayor fist-bumps an operator thanking him for his work, on the paper, he’s implicitly saying that operator’s job should have been cut:

From SF Chronicle:

“The pandemic and challenges downtown hit Muni particularly hard, but the funding crisis we face today had been anticipated for years and necessary changes were not made,” Lurie said. “This ends now.”

Was waiting for an #SFMuni #JChurch at San Jose & Randall (entrance to the Bernal cut); https://www.sfmta.com/routes/j-church showed a long wait for a train and we were about to just walk but along came a going-out-service F line PCC on the way to the barn, and the motorman gave us a ride. Got to ride this PCC all the way to the Geneva barn.

For all you #SFBA folks, has anyone had trouble transferring their virtual clipper cards to a new phone?

Luckily I still have one physical one for guests because both of my virtual ones are not working on new phone #clippercard #ACtransit #SFmuni

My wife and I are on the train back from Sacramento, and, looking at her phone a moment ago she wondered out loud, What’s Pete Buttigieg going to do next? I said, Well Jeff Tumlin is stepping down at Muni.

Suddenly it seemed not an awful idea

16th St, SF, is getting a new bus lane, looks like. Cool.
I thought the guy in the background was spraying lettering, but actually he was using a torch. Guess the want the paint to dry in a hurry!

Vintage #SFMUNI spotting during a low-rider festival on Mission St. in #SanFrancisco

Anyone know if there are other poles like this one in the city? #SFMuni

There are still 21 suspended #SFMuni routes, according to:
https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/muni/routes-stops
(though obviously the L just resumed.)

so I was getting all excited about the L-Taraval finally launching train service when someone told me that it won't enter the tunnel at West Portal so we'll have to transfer to Embarcadero-bound trains there anyway. they claim it will continue serving as a shuttle.

I can't get confirmation on the #sfmta website because of course.

before I call them in a rage, does anyone here know the answer?

I haven't seen this before!
