Do you like the plug-style back door on Muni buses? You'll be seeing a lot more of these buses.

Heads up: Portsmouth Square Park will close to the public tomorrow, Wednesday, June 9, for about two years, so crews can start the Portsmouth Square Improvement Project.

The SFMTA's Vision Zero Committee is meeting now to discuss Mayor Daniel Lurie's Street Safety Initiative. Part of the presentation includes the priority list of quick-build projects that the SFMTA is supposed to identify as part of the initiative. List of quick-build projects below.

I celebrated Local News Day with The Ingleside Light last night. I got these awesome fridge magnets.

During yesterday's SFMTA board meeting, directors mostly agreed on the cable car fares for the next two years as part of the agency's budget (below). It won't be finalized until the April 21 meeting, when the board is expected to approve the two-year budget.

At yesterday's hearing on the Central Subway, I was more interested in who is moving into this kiosk spot at the Chinatown station. 😂 Apparently someone is close to leasing the space. If you know who it is, hit me up.

A few Muni service changes will take effect Feb. 14.

Heads up! The SFMTA put out this plan for tomorrow's morning service in the Muni subway due to the ongoing PG&E power outage.

The SFMTA board just received an update from staff on their fare/parking revenue recommendations for the next two-year budget. At the last meeting, the board discussed the local tax measure. One recommendation from staff is not to implement evening parking meter hours and on Sunday.

Jerold Chinn @jerold.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

The SFMTA has been working to "right-size" parking meter hours around loading zones.

The SFMTA completed the West Portal horseshoe upgrades. But, a social media account on threads, named agentakit, films every weekend on some drivers not obeying the traffic laws that were implemented about a year ago.

Just like other Bay Area transit agencies, Caltrain has to prepare scenarios in case a regional ballot measure falls through.

It's just been over a year since Caltrain introduced electrified service.

The board is on the mid-life overhaul of Muni buses. It's a second phase of the program. The buses on the right replaced the buses on the left. Also, the bus on the left you can now see during Muni Heritage Weekend, which took place two weekends ago.

Bay Area transit news: SB 63, a bill to authorize a regional funding measure to fund transit in the Bay Area, passed the state legislature and is headed to Gov. Newsom's desk for his signature. Newsom has until Oct. 12 to either sign or veto the bill. Statements from SFMTA and BART below.

I took the janky Las Vegas monorail yesterday and it felt like at some turns, it was going to fall apart. It needs some tender, loving care inside too!

Do you like the new Transit app interface?

Jerold Chinn @jerold.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Starting today, the ride-hailing apps were allowed to pick-up and drop-off passengers at specific locations on Market Street and can only operate during certain hours. Lurie has touted the plan as a way to drum up business for the corridor Photos from the protest.

Earlier this evening at Market and Montgomery streets, transit, pedestrian and bike advocates denounced Mayor Daniel Lurie's decision to allow Waymo, Uber Black and Lyft Black to drive on parts of Market Street that had been "car-free" since 2020.

Finally saw one of these ads on my Muni bus today.

Jerold Chinn @jerold.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

Yes, Waymos and a limited number of black vehicles from Uber and Lyft will be able to drive down parts of Market Street to pick up and drop off passengers at the following locations starting next Tuesday. Each company is subject to limited operating hours, per the Mayor's Office.

Muni service planning manager Jessica Garcia said there will be some cost-neutral service changes that will begin Aug. 30. These are smaller changes compared to the ones made in June.
