 | | Equally important, however, are the surface improvements, such as the improvements to Muni’s Geary and O’Farrell St. transit lanes that may serve as a model for other transit lanes. |
 | | Accordingly, SPUR is calling on the Planning Department to take stronger measures to limit the growth of car trips, especially peak-hour car trips, to the downtown, as the demand for street space by these car trips is practically the only impediment to these very important transportation and land-use improvements. |
 | | With longer trips and less reliability, Muni attracts fewer passengers, creating a vicious cycle of reduced transit use and increased car use, that leads to increased congestion, more transit delays and less schedule reliability. |
