Muni got a potential shot in the arm Tuesday with Mayor Gavin Newsom’s announcement of plans to implement recommendations from a San Francisco Transit Effectiveness Project (SFTEP) study.<\/p>\n

SFTEP commissioned a $2 million study recommending sweeping changes to the beleaguered transit system that carries as many as 700,000 passengers per day.<\/p>\n

Key aspects of the plan changes include route alterations and the eliminations of some bus lines.<\/p>\n

The proposed changes, to begin in July 2009, include the killing of the number 2 Clement line and the re-routing of the number 52 Excelsior line while offering service line changes to include BART stations on some routes.<\/p>\n

SFTEP is a partnership between the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) – which runs Muni and the Department of Parking and Traffic – and the city Controller’s Office, a partnership created “to increase the effectiveness of the City’s Muni transit system,” according to the SFTEP web site.<\/p>\n

The proposal’s changes provides some hope to Muni riders who have been plagued with everything from long wait times to over-crowded buses and trains.<\/p>\n

Muni was considered by many of its riders to be completely unreliable early last year following the launch of the new T-Third street line which caused delays in both directions in the subway below Market Street.<\/p>\n

Although service has improved since then, Muni is still considered unreliable and continues to fall short of meeting an 85 percent on-time performance benchmark mandated by voters in 1999.<\/p>\n

Though the report and its proposed recommendations comes as welcome news to Muni riders, it remains to be seen whether the various efforts will improve on-time performance.<\/p>\n
