One Last Run at the Transbay Terminal

If you didn’t get to catch a glimpse of the Transbay Terminal tour before it closed, contributor Whole Wheat Toast at The Toasted Blog shot some great pictures and documented the last run at the terminal:

Last hurrah for the Transbay Terminal. But there weren’t people that were going to let this go away without a night of shooting (pictures) and at one point a group of rollerbladers came in and blasted Billie Jean. Not only that, Muni brought in one of their old Fishbowls (aka Jimmies) for all to see, so, yeah, if you didn’t come, you missed out. Wonder why AC Transit didn’t bring in one of their old vehicles…

SFMTA and Newsom Announce 61% Muni Service Restorations by Labor Day Weekend

Screwed by MUNI Again
Photo by Anna Conti

Hey, good Muni news — Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today that Muni will restore 61 percent of the service cuts you saw in May (see the story by Streetsblog San Francisco, SFGate, and SFAppeal). The poor lines that got cut (which you all so eloquently eulogized in our Muni Obituaries) aren’t coming back, but you will see changes, including more weekday and weekend service hour, less wait time for Owl Service, and restored light rail vehicle service.

How did this happen? SFMTA says it identified $15 million in one-time allocations from county and regional agencies, and operational savings like reducing stand-by hours for operators.

How has your Muni experience been since the service cuts, and which service are you most looking forward to having back? Sound off in the comments, please.
