Car 1 on the F-line! Get Out and Ride!
The big Fleet Week/America’s Cup/Giants Playoff weekend is under way, complete with E-line service. It includes the first regular passenger service for Muni’s Car No. 1, its very first streetcar, since its rebuilding. This surprise appearance by No. 1, apparently operating on the F-line between 11th Street and Fisherman’s Wharf, follows a ceremonial debut earlier this year and a couple of charters, including one for our Market Street Railway members. Here’s how to find out whether Car No. 1, shown on the screenshot below, is on the street as you read this, and which other streetcars are out on the E- and F-lines this weekend.

Ride the E-line Streetcars August 25 and 26!

Do We Want Fewer F-Line Stops on Market?
One of the busiest F-line stops, Wharf-bound at Fourth and Market, is too narrow to allow an ADA ramp, thus denying access to disabled people. That’s because the boarding island, which predated ADA and is thus "grandfathered," sits parallel to a BART/Metro escalator entrance, which narrows the street. Moving some downtown F-line stops to mid-block would allow wider islands with ADA access and faster boarding for all riders, while leaving more space for other street users by removing the current constrained islands.
More Business for the F-line
Two new residential units totaling 200 units will be served by the F-line stop at Duboce and Market, from which this shot was snapped. Another 113 units are coming to Market and Octavia, just two blocks east.
