We’re also making some stop changes to serve more customers and make the service more accessible and reliable.  Increased Service  To address crowding and reduce pass-ups, we’re adding service on the 1 California between Clay and Drumm streets and California Street and Presidio Avenue – where demand is highest – on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.  We’re also going to be starting service earlier on the 1X California Express, at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m., in response to customer feedback, as well as adding stops at Cherry, Spruce and Laurel streets and Presidio Avenue.   We’re also extending the evening service to the Presidio at 30 Stockton seven days a week.

Everything you need to know about red transit lanes

Everything you need to know about red transit lanes By Amy Fowler San Francisco’s transit lanes are nothing new, but you may have seen more of them lately. They’ve been a part of the city’s transit system for over 40 years , and today San Francisco has more than 43 miles of these dedicated transit lanes, which are critical to helping Muni move our growing population. Since Muni began painting them red in 2013, they’ve become even more visible throughout the city. Just got a transit lane in your neighborhood or Muni line? We’ve got the scoop on what you need to know. What are transit lanes? Transit lanes are lanes that are dedicated to Muni vehicles and other buses. Taxis are also allowed to use most transit lanes, but not app-based rail hail services such as Lyft and Uber. Along with other Muni Forward improvements, transit lanes help improve travel time and reliability on Muni buses and trains and protect transit riders from growing traffic congestion.

First Of Ten Public Artworks Installed For Central Subway

First Of Ten Public Artworks Installed For Central Subway By The SFMTA, working with the San Francisco Arts Commission is excited to announce that the first of ten permanent public artworks for the Central Subway Public Art Program has been installed. Microcosmic, by Bay Area-based artist Moto Ohtake, is a wind-activated kinetic sculpture mounted on a 40-foot light pole at the 4th and Brannan Street Platform Station, right before the train goes underground. Fabricated from stainless steel, the sculpture measures approximately 15 feet by 15 feet by 3 feet when stretched to its full capacity. The sculpture’s wings move in gyroscopic circular motions and are angled differently to create opposing rotations under the same wind conditions, allowing viewers to experience an infinite number of combinations in response to changes in weather patterns. The movements will be contemplative at times, and more dynamic and energetic at others based on the wind. Ohtake’s Microcosmic, is also a culm

Our Routes' Roots: History of the 33 Ashbury/18th

Our Routes' Roots: History of the 33 Ashbury/18th By Jeremy Menzies Celebrating its 84th anniversary in October, the 33 Ashbury/18th descends from one of the very first electric streetcar lines and holds the distinction of being San Francisco's first electric trolley bus route. While many of Muni's 71 bus routes have similar origins, only the 33 Ashbury/18th can claim this unique honor. A streetcar on the 18th & Park Line uses the unique "switchback" at Market and Clayton Streets in this 1915 shot. The exact path of the route has changed over the years but the core of the line's path up Twin Peaks and Clayton Street traces its lineage back to 1892 and the opening of San Francisco's second electric streetcar line.  This line, called the 18th and Park, was operated by the San Francisco & San Mateo Electric Railway Company and followed a 5-mile route from 3rd & Harrison Streets to Golden Gate Park via South of Market, the Mission, Twin Pea

This Morning’s Commute

This Morning’s Commute By Monday morning at 8:18 am , Muni customers experienc ed a major delay in the subway. Maintenance crews isolated the problem and power was restored at 11:28 a.m. after testing was completed. Crews will continue working on the problem tonight to better understand the underlying causes and take corrective action to prevent the conditions that led to the outage in the first place. We understand that Muni customers rely on us to provide safe, efficient and reliable transit service and apologize for the major inconvenience this morning. We wanted to share our response to today’s incident, and update our customers on what we’re working on moving forward. We’re working hard to ensure a system that is dependable and that you can count on. An electrical circuit that feeds power to the K,L and M lines just east of Forest Hill stations failed, disabling inbound trains and slowing the Monday morning commute. Outbound service was not affected by the electrical problem.

Bike Rack Effort Ramps Up in Tandem with Safety

चित्र
Bike Rack Effort Ramps Up in Tandem with Safety By On Monday, SFMTA staff installed a new bike corral at the corner of Sanchez and 16th Street in an existing red zone, with the support of Supervisor Mandelman. This corral is part of a city-wide commitment to expand bike parking, and an effort to assess how bike racks can help to supplement pedestrian safety efforts like daylighting at intersections. “We’re hard at work to make it easier and safer for people to get out of cars and onto bikes or scooters instead,” said Mayor London N. Breed. “The installation of this new bike corral will add much-needed bike and scooter parking, while also supporting pedestrian safety. I’m looking forward to seeing more corrals installed throughout the city.” With more emerging mobility options, like scootershare and bikeshare, along with a general increase in bicycling, demand for racks is growing. Stationless permits include a rack fee based on operator fleet sizes. These funds are going towards l

Next Steps Toward Zero-Emission Motor Coach Fleet

Next Steps Toward Zero-Emission Motor Coach Fleet By Lori Phelan Last week, the SFMTA Board of Directors authorized a pilot to procure and operate battery-electric buses. Now the agency can move forward to purchase three 40-ft buses from three different battery-electric bus (BEB) manufacturers and test their performance in revenue service for one year. The first-of-a-kind buses are expected to arrive in the fall 2020 timeframe. Throughout the pilot, detailed data on the BEBs' performance will be collected. At the end of the test program, we will evaluate the feasibility of operating an all-electric bus fleet and implement future procurement strategy. Throughout this process, the SFMTA will also be evaluating how effectively the battery-electric buses can deliver the same standard of reliability and service as our current hybrid-electric and trolley bus fleet.

SFMTA and Bay Area Motivate Reach Agreement By Earlier this week, the SFMTA and Bay Area Motivate’s Bay Wheels  reached a 4-year agreement to provide 4,000 stationless shared e-bikes throughout San Francisco. Under the agreement, Bay Wheels  will begin to deploy 4,000 new e-bikes starting in December 2019 with full rollout by April 2020. The new e-bikes will work as "hybrids" that can be docked at stations but also locked to bike racks around the City. This stationless functionality will expand the reach of the system and provide citywide access to bikeshare. The hybrid e-bikes are in addition to the 4,500 bikes already provided for by SFMTA's contract with Bay Wheels , allowing Bay Wheels  to operate up to 8,500 total bikes in San Francisco. This bikeshare expansion is in addition to the existing 500 stationless JUMP e-bikes that are permitted until March 1, 2020. The terms of the agreement ensure that shared e-bikes will be a reliable, accessible and affordable

Check Out the New SF STREETS Interactive Map

Check Out the New SF STREETS Interactive Map By Tori Winters Today we launched a new tool: the SF STREETS Interactive Map , the newest way to explore projects in San Francisco from three City agencies – San Francisco Public Works (SFPW), San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). This map is designed for individuals interested in what is happening in the public street, and to see at a glance which projects by agency are in the works or underway. The goal of this project was to create a user-friendly way to search for information about city projects that touch the streets of San Francisco. The map helps us share information about work from three City agencies (SFPW, SFPUC, and SFMTA) with members of the public, city leaders and our city partners. Staff can also use the map to minimize impacts to communities by seeing what other projects are happening nearby, allowing us to better coordinate construction schedules
