I couldn’t help but smile when I found Michelle Chan’s photo of her younger brother carrying a bouquet of roses on Muni. Who can resist?

Here’s some good info from SFMTA on tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day parade and Muni routes that will be affected.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

SFTRU: All-door boarding coming to Muni this July

The long-talked-about topic of allowing back-door boarding on Muni buses will become reality as soon as this summer, according to a post on SF Transit Rider Union‘s website.

The San Francisco Transit Riders Union is pleased to announce that Muni will expand all-door boarding to buses on July 1, 2012. SFTRU launched its all-door boarding campaign in August 2011 and has advocated the proposal at agency board meetings, in the media, and when speaking with riders.

“SFTRU recognized that all-door boarding will create faster trips for riders, improve reliability, increase fare compliance, and save the agency money,” said Robert Boden, SFTRU board member. “We are pleased that Muni is listening to riders.”

The greatest benefit to Muni riders will be shortened travel times, especially given Muni’s average speed of 8 miles per hour.

We reported on all-door boarding for Muni last in August. Click here to read the rest of SFTRU’s post.
