This slide is from part of a presentation about Battery Electric Buses. Spot the conceptual problem. California is forcing transit agencies to plow money into the wrong problem. The right problem is running more transit service and taking cars and trucks off the road.

The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

This is an appallingly ignorant, dangerous and vision-less view of the future. It ignores embodied carbon of building all these cars, the 25000 people killed or seriously injured on our roads every year, the social inequality this would embed...

Based on Clipper data, riders have fully returned to transit, they are just taking fewer trips because of remote work. Unique clipper cards used (note the 2024 numbers now match 2019):

If you want to play a fun game, ask people in the know to describe the fiscal state of Muni. You’ll get a sharp inhale. An “incredibly dire.” An “extremely concerning.” Maybe even a “clusterfuck” or two. sfstandard.com/2024/11/22/mun…

Moving SF - Because of the SFMTA's budget crisis, we're forced to cut 4% of Muni service this summer. These cuts are the last thing we want, but hard choices are needed to sustain the transportation services we provide. We want your feedback. Learn more⬇️ sfmta.com/blog/feb-4-hea…
