Over 100 transit advocates gathered at San Francisco City Hall to protest proposed cuts to Muni funding, highlighting a $7.2 million reduction considered by the board. Activists, including Cyrus Hall and Chris Arvin, stressed that cutting services contradicts equity principles and hampers future funding proposals. District 5 Supervisor Bilal Mahmood criticized the cuts, pointing out the dependence of local residents on Muni for transportation. Speakers called attention to the ongoing struggle for equitable transit in a city that prioritizes car drivers, urging the city to enhance, not diminish, public transit resources.
We are here to say 'no' to any service cuts... If you cut service, this is not going to help make your case.
This was really disheartening to see in my first few weeks in office... This is a district that moves on Muni.
For five decades, we've supposedly been a 'transit-first' city... we're a cut-transit-first city.
Transit is indispensable for the poor, children, seniors, and the disabled... the city favors drivers over transit riders.
