Commentary: Vote 'Yes' on L and Fund the Bus - Streetsblog San Francisco
Briefly

"If Prop L passes in November, it will bring in enough revenue to fund more than 10 bus lines. It can also protect the Free Muni For Youth program and reduced fare programs for seniors, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes—all with a small tax on the revenue that ride-hail companies like Uber earn in San Francisco."
