Muni to shut down N-Judah LRV weekend service for six weeks

February 15, 2012 Tara One comment

Heads up: Starting next Friday, Muni will suspend weekend light-rail service on the N-Judah line between Ocean Beach and Church and Duboce. Sorry, people, they said they have to, as they work on two rail-improvement projects. Bus shuttles will take the place of streetcars from 8 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays along this stretch of the N-Judah’s route.

For more information on the service interruption, see SFMTA’s website.

Raymond the Muni Poet Laureate is back with another homage to Muni. He says, “My love/hate with Muni is subjective, but it’s a fact that it’s a part of my life.”

Poetry, collage, photography, Raymond loves him (and hates him) some Muni, as it should be.

Add this one to Muni Diaries’ Accordion Files, as more people enjoy the bendiest part of the bus. Per @atwarwithin, who posted this on Instagram, these kids are “holding #muni together.”

Well, someone has to.

P.S. Rad tiger shirt!

Free Muni for Kids?

Should San Francisco kids ride Muni free of charge? The question, already floating around town on- and offline, might finally make its way to the deciders: the SFMTA board of directors may discuss it at next month’s meeting.

Supervisor David Campos is one of the proposal’s biggest supporters. Though details are still being hammered out, Campos envisions no restrictions for time of day: that is, youth riders could ride free anytime. Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, on the other hand, says the idea will cost Muni way too much, especially in light of current and projected multimillion-dollar operating deficits.
