About 250 people gathered at a Muni rally to voice concerns over planned service cuts, leading to a preliminary vote that favored less severe reductions. The SFMTA will reduce service on five bus lines this summer, yet the Muni Forever campaign is urging ongoing public commentary before the final vote on April 1. Thanks to the large turnout, drastic measures like line suspensions and increased headways have been reconsidered, gaining political backing from several supervisors and even sparking plans for future ballot measures to bolster public transit funding.
The Muni Forever campaign's grassroots rally significantly influenced the SFMTA's decision-making, showcasing how public engagement can alter the course of proposed service cuts.
Supervisor Fielder stressed the importance of investing in public transit, connecting it to climate change and economic support, emphasizing the need for a sustainable transportation model.
