Transit Service "Adjustments" on "Under-utilized" Lines

The Municipal Transportation Agency voted in February to balance their budget by
cutting $5 million in service and a further $2 million in "scheduling efficiencies.  

Public Protest beat back some of the cuts, but the MTA has not retreated from the
dollar amount.  If these cuts & "efficiencies" go into effect, San Francisco Muni riders
stand to lose $7 million dollars worth of transit service.
F Market & Wharves
 		Discontinue weekday
"Shuttles
 		How will the historic treasures like the
"Iron Monsters" & Blackpool Boat Car
that run on the Embarcadero fare in
Market Street traffic?   San Francisco
natives, tourists & merchants alike will
miss these legacy two-person
(motorman & conductor) cars.

p.m. peak
 		The 1-line runs every 5 minutes at
mid-day.  Service every 7 minutes is a
25% service cut.  With fewer short line
trips during the p.m. rush hour, will
riders be able to board?  Will they want
to ride "packed" buses at the end of
their day?

more people on each bus?
