Service cuts looming in overhaul of transit system

The 37-Corbett would be one of 11 lines upon which Muni would reduce service under a new plan.
(Cindy Chew/The Examiner)
The 37-Corbett would be one of 11 lines upon which Muni would reduce service under a new plan.

SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - The first overhaul of Muni since it was created in the 1970s will reduce or cut service to more than a dozen of The City’s least traveled routes while enhancing service along the 15-plus corridors used by the majority of riders.

On Tuesday, Mayor Gavin Newsom, noting that he will not be able to run for the office again, said he is “willing to take the heat” from disgruntled commuters in order to make Muni faster and more efficient.

“It requires dramatic changes to see dramatic improvements,” Newsom said at a news conference to unveil the proposals that resulted from The City’s Transit Effectiveness Project, an 18-month, $2 million study of how to improve the system.

Changes to The City’s public transportation system, which carries 686,000 daily passengers on roughly 80 routes, are expected to begin as early as July 2009, officials said.

The changes to the 25-year-old system would boost the speed of more popular lines serving a variety of neighborhoods, Newsom said. Service on the 47-Van Ness line, for example, would boost travel between the Van Ness corridor and the Caltrain station. The 19-Polk would become a circular downtown route.

The project also calls for increased limited service on lines such as the 14-Mission and the 5-Fulton. Limited service increases the space between bus stops, which results in decreased boarding times and faster service, since boardings currently take up about 20 percent of a bus route’s schedule, according to the Muni study.

In order to boost efficiency and the number of buses on crowded lines, Muni is weighing the elimination of less popular lines.

To fund the changes, several options are being explored by an ad-hoc Muni revenue panel, including a 25 cent increase in fares and raising taxes, Newsom said.

The City is looking at two options for the reform plan. One extends Muni into “critical areas” and increase ridership; this “enhanced” scenario would cost about $50 million. A more limited plan, according to Transit Effectiveness Project Manager Julie Kirschbaum, would make Muni so efficient that the changes would pay for themselves.

Transit critics, many of whom have participated in the Transit Effectiveness Project, expressed doubt that a sweeping change to the system would pay for itself. Andrew Sulllivan, creator of Rescue Muni, a group critical of the system’s reliability, said finding the money to take this project to the next level would be difficult.

Sullivan also noted that while he was satisfied with the resulting plan from the TEP study, he expects that problems and complaints will surface when some of the community lines are cut.

“[The TEP] thinks hard about the speed of service, which is appalling right now,” he said. “What’s really nice about the TEP is that they based this analysis on hard facts.”

if they were to reinstate those bus lines that were severed, it wouldn't be necessary to have vans. daah. every bus line was designed for that purpose - to serve those neighborhoods to get them where they need to go. how is somebody from the far away districts going to get to downtown or anywhere else? walk ten to twenty miles?

 Gretchen said:
I love the idea of using vans on some of the less traveled routes - brings back memories of the Jitneys from a few decades ago. Hope we can find hybrid vans. The nice thing about vans is that for low use areas the busses may only run once an hour but with vans you could move the same number of people but run the vans twice as frequently. Also glad to see that the change in density of different areas is being included - especially in SOMA. All in all I think these changes should bring increased value of public transit to the city. Now, if the new fare collection systems can be made workable we would have a really great system. I still don't understand why we don't have more sophisticated Fast Pass readers - if BART can calculate fares in a second, one would think Muni could create something similar. Have plentiful kiosks to buy Muni tickets/passes and, like BART, only allow access by ticket scanners at the bus doors.

As unfortunate as this accident is, I'm guessing, like the previous MUNI accident near AT&T Park, its going to take months to "investigate" this accident to "fault", while the union spins the story for public consumption, while the city attorney's office figures out how many millions to pay out to the injured, while MUNI continues to limp along. Why again is Nathaniel Ford the highest paid city employee?

 Montira said:
Increasing the cost of the monthly MUNI Fast Pass is NOT going to solve MUNI's budget problems. For all the money that they "make" selling the Fast Passes in a given year, they probably lose just as much from folks who board the buses through the back doors everyday of that year. Case in point: last night, I rode the 45 - Stockton back from AT&T Park after the Giants game. At least 20 people who were at the bus stop on 3rd St. (1.5 blocks up from the park) boarded through the back. When we got to the stop in front of CPK and Office Depot, another 10 or so boarded through the back. That's at least $37.50 that MUNI lost in the span of 15 minutes.

As a regular MUNI rider, I have no love for people who stand in front of the back doors who don't get off the bus for a long while, who don't move over to the window seat, who take up two seats during a rush hour commute, graffiti taggers with smelly pens, people who blast music out loud, people who block the aisles by holding with two hands across the aisles, people who don't take off bulky backpacks on crowded buses while standing, people who board the back door without paying, the occasional unwashed aromatic homeless person, the occasional insane outspokingly profane homeless person, loud cell phone callers, and people who don't use two hands to push the rear doors open to get off. Other than that, MUNI is a joy to ride...when it arrives on time.

Double Decker buses with a capacity of 80? Last time I was riding the 9x on Stockton Street through Chinatown seemed like 80 people climbed on through one of the back doors before I could even get off the bus. Instead of this generic PR fluff piece about MUNI's future gimmick why not a story about the terrible conditions on the buses, i.e. 30, 9X 45 that run through Chinatown that during the day are overflowing? How about a phtograph or two? Is the EXAMINER too cheap or to incompetent to use a digital camera and uppload the photo's on it's website? How is it in the days of I-Phones and U-TUBE the EXAMINER and the Chronicle produce such stale news reporting. When TV news was in its infancy that the reporters and producers had to be reminded, since they came from print and radio, that TV is a visual medium. Guess what? So is the internet. With a hundred dollar video camera and some cheap software the EXAMINER could produce some news that's undeniable because you can see (and hear) it

Sometimes the only way to get on the bus is through the back. Maybe people who hold up a pass should be free to use the backdoor. That could make things faster and less crowded at the front of the bus, allow inspectors at the back to more easily identify true fare evaders, and incidentally satisfy a few fellow riders who apparently assume the worst of everyone using the backdoor.

Just stand at 24th & Mission, waiting for the 48 bus, any given morning...there's always about 10-20 folks that enter the bus by the back door.

It's the same on every line - no one solution exists except to keep the back doors closed, and make everyone exit from the front door, and then let on the new passengers, which would ensure that they would pay. Perhaps if the MUNI bus drivers got off their cell phones once in a while, they could actually pay attention to their jobs and collect fares, avoid hitting pedestrians while driving, and have the time and energy to be pleasant to their customers. It makes one want to drive their car to work!
