The Castro Weighs in on Six Buck F-line Proposal
Castro District residents are weighing in on the SFMTA staff proposal to raise the F-line fare to six dollars, a 300% increase in one fell swoop (not to be confused with Fell Street).
No Streetcars on the F Saturday, February 22
The F-line will be operated solely with buses on Saturday, February 22, so that a number of projects can be carried out on Market Street. This includes completion of the removal of the old switches that led to and from the now-vanished Transbay Terminal (specifically, the switch at Fremont and Market), plus utility work at Spear and Market and crosswalk repair at Third and Market. F-line buses will operate on Market, except between First and Fremont inbound, where they will detour via Mission. Trolley coaches will be replaced by motor coaches along Market, as the overhead wires will be deenergized between Tenth and Steuart.
Opposition Streams In to Higher F-line Fare
$6 F-Line Fare an Option in New SFMTA Budget
Despite strong and successful opposition the first time they tried it four years ago, the budget crafters at SFMTA, Muni’s parent agency, are back with proposals to uncouple the F-line fare from the basic Muni fare and raise it between 50% and 300%.
