Not a solution but a cry for HELP. BUSES-why no "low to the curb" buses-easy for handicapped, seniors, strollers, small children. Why are the buses so FILTHY-often hard to see out of windows. Smaller less affluent cities: e.g. Pittsburgh, PA do not have "state of the art" buses-clean-drivers in full, clean, pressed uniforms. such neglect problems. Name Withheld Read This Posty »

Unless a homeless person can prove that they LIVED in San Francisco for at least two (2) years before they BECAME homeless; they should be sent back to their home city, by bus.  And that bus fare can be paid back to our city within a years time. In other words, not a previous tax paying resident -- no low or free services PERIOD. Name Withheld Read This Posty »

Have separate raised lanes for buses. Have separate lanes for bikes that are clearly marked. Have separate lanes for cars. On all major streets, van ness, market, etc. This way people who take public transit will arrive faster then cars in rush hour and be excouraged to ride muni. More people will ride bikes if they have safe lanes to do so, which will also take more cars off the roads. Name Withheld Read This Posty »

On the homeless it would seem much more humane and effective to provide 24.7 open shelters with locked storage bins...know that this costs more but it would permit people who are ill or incapacitated from being forced out on the streets and those that want to look for work from having to schlepp their belongings around.  On the buses, wouldn't it cost less after the initial capital investment, to have mini buses to augment service to busy routes during peak hours and make the runs on less busy routes during off peak times, save on gas and the size of Read This Posty »

I  never  take  the  Muni  becasue  it  is  far  too  slow.  Most  buses  stop  at  every  corner.   Why  not  have  them  stop  every  3  or  4  blocks?   Most  people  would  trade  a  1  or  2  block  walk  to  get  get  to  their  destination  in  a  more  reasonable  time.  It  would  also  save  energy  since  starting  and  stopping  uses  more  energy.                                   My  other  suggestion  is  the  bus  lanes  on  Post  Street.   There  are  only   three  streets  to  come  downtown  on:  California  Street,   Bush  Street,  and  Post  Street.   When  you  take  lanes  out  of  use  (for  private  passenger  vehicles),   you  are  not  Read This Posty »

Put one-way doors at the rear of the buses to keep people from entering at the back of the buses and not paying.  It happens a lot. Have City employees earn comp time instead of overtime.  They would get time off for extra hours worked, but not extra pay. Could  save you a lot of money! Name Withheld Read This Posty »
