	Why San Francisco's Muni Wireless is Years Away
		But San Francisco is nowhere near deploying a wireless network, and the agreements the city made with Google and EarthLink Municipal Networks appear to be dead in all but name.
		San Francisco, by contrast is now in its third year or debating its approach, and the supervisors want to restart the discussions from the beginning," McGoldrick says, rather than try to fix what he considers a fatally flawed approach.
		San Francisco’s current proposal focuses on delivering paid wireless Internet service with a lower-tier free service meant mainly for the poor, similar to how cable and telephone charters are set up in most cities.

	San Francisco Muni
		The San Francisco Municipal Railway, or Muni as it is commonly known, is the public transit system for the city and county of San Francisco, California.
		Proof of purchase is handled through a transfer slip, either a flimsy piece of paper (buses and streetcar) or print on thicker, card-board-like paper (subway stations and a few outdoor stops such as San Francisco State University), all of which are randomly checked by police officers.
		MUNI trains run underground in some of the same subway stations, but they are on different tracks at different levels.

	Muni social strikeout - The failed transit fare strike in San Francisco, 2005 \| libcom.org
		Today even a strike at a number of relatively large workplaces located relatively close to each other, like the recent San Francisco hotel strike, is now easily isolated by employers, acting in tandem with their loyal business partners, the unions, and aided significantly by the general absence of working class solidarity and collective class consciousness.
		The Muni Fare Strike group was openly and honestly antagonistic to voicing any wider critique of life under capitalism as it might emerge in the context of a city-wide fare strike.
		Muni Fare Strike was loyal to a script written for it by many decades of leftist irrelevance to the vast majority of US working people.

	Philadelphia Trolley Tracks: San Francisco PCCs
		San Francisco's Municipal Railway, or Muni, bought a fleet of our trolleys at the bargain basement price of $12,000 each, and had them completely rebuilt at a cost of about $460,000 apiece.
		Ironically, I was in San Francisco on June 15, and had to explain that not only has SEPTA scrapped and sold hundreds of trolleys in recent years, but that very day was the final day of service for the last two PCCs still in use in our fair city, in Chestnut Hill.
		San Francisco's experience has shown that our old PCC trolleys are still a viable way to move passengers, not just a nostalgic curiosity.

	SAN FRANCISCO / Muni deficit is projected, but fares will hold steady
		Muni now derives its operating revenue from a variety of sources, including the city, state and federal grants and the fare box.
		San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, the civic think tank, issued a report earlier this year that concluded Muni will require almost $1 billion in new revenue through 2015 to improve service and meet an expected increase in ridership.
		The San Francisco Transportation Authority received $1 million in federal funding to study Supervisor Jake McGoldrick's proposal of charging motorists who drive downtown during busy times, which could cut traffic and raise millions of dollars for Muni.

		I guess it’s one of the trade-offs living in the middle of San Francisco and from what I’ve read, I think you know first-hand that the CV is worth at least some of those troubles.
		Was going to take a MUNI bus from the Mission for a short trip but when it arrived it was packed to the gills; no room for me so I walked the short walk, had dinner at my old sushi hangout on Church near Market which hadn’t changed AT ALL in 13 years.
		It was the MUNI trains which seemed to cause the most problems — I’d wait for a “K” for half an hour and then there’d be three of them in a row.

	San Francisco Muni Is Running Late \| Planetizen
		A recent report has revealed some shortcomings of San Francisco's Municipal Railway system: Muni busses and railcars arrive on schedule only 70%of the time.
		The issue is underlined by a 1999 measure that sought an on-time percentage of 85% by 2004.
		The main reason they don't run on schedule: congested streets that slow buses and trains, and a shortage of drivers, which means that some runs are missed altogether.

	The MUNI Streetcar System (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After the war, San Francisco began bus-substitution, due in part to the availability of the diesel bus and the consolidation of the previously private Market St. Railway into the city owned Municipal Railway.
		In San Francisco's case, however, the utilization of inexpensive hydro power from the City's Hetch Hetchy Power Department led Muni to invest in a large fleet of electric trolley coaches, in addition to motor coaches, as streetcar replacements.
		Opened in 1980, the MUNI Metro is conceptually similar to the Boston and Philadelphia subway-surface streetcar systems where surface lines funnel into a single tunnel to serve the downtown core.

		However, once one zooms in past that initial high-level overview, she is limited to viewing one tile at a time and is afforded no context in relation to the San Francisco map as a whole.
		The layout of these route maps, while reflective of the actual physical Muni route, is also less than optimal, as the street labels and transfer information are displayed at different angles (as seen in the example to the left).
		Muni links to an automated trip planner that is run by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), a "transportation planning, financing, and coordinating agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area." The TakeTransit Trip Planner allows the user to enter start and destination information in a variety of formats including by street address or intersections.

	San Francisco: Muni Streetcar Restoration Project Preserves Some History
		San Francisco's Market Street Railway is seeking donations to re-acquire one of San Francisco's historic electric streetcars to be placed in service on the F-Line (and, imminently, E-Line) of Muni (San Francisco Municipal Railway, SF's transit agency).
		This "B-type" Muni car is one of only two survivors of a class of 125 cars (preserved car #130 is the other).
		The B-types were built in 1914 by Jewett Car Co. of Ohio to enable Muni to expand from its Geary Street beginnings to serve the 1915 World's Fair, and then the southwest quadrant of San Francisco, which was opened up to development by the Twin Peaks Tunnel.

	San Francisco Muni needs Substance not Frills (Site not responding. Last check: )
		RESCUE Muni wants a supervisor stationed at Van Ness station to manage traffic and redesignate destinations of cars, to crack down on chaotic operations.
		Because Muni doesn't tell customers what trains are coming, "passengers force themselves onto the first train that comes because they have no idea how long it might be until the next useable car comes along." By comparison, BART seems to have grasped this need and at least lets riders know what train is coming.
		Another gripe is the cynical technique of some Muni drivers who announce a car or bus is going out of service, then blithely continue up the route with a lighter load.
