I never thought I'd say this: Please don't take Muni if you have other options. Muni is only for essential workers + trips. We're short >30% of operators. Monday will be a mess. To maintain service on workhorse lines, we need to eliminate many low ridership lines starting Tuesday
Our two priorities:
Protect the health and safety of our workforce
Deliver essential workers to work safely
We'll be adding service to workhorse lines to help maintain social distancing. Key lines that serve hospitals, commercial corridors, and neighborhoods where residents have the fewest mobility alternatives
Our transit planners have been working all weekend to rebuild the entire schedule, a task that would normally take 4 months. We'll be able to share details soon. The rollout will not be smooth
Remember: Our operators, mechanics, car cleaners and line supervisors are frontline workers, taking risks because they believe in public service. Do yell at me if you're late for work, but please thank them for their heroic work in these times
SF is in better shape than many cities because of the leadership of @LondonBreed and @SF_DPH. Please heed their shelter-in-place order to protect essential workers and help us get through this quickly. Godspeed
Muni's "essential network," starting Wednesday. It focuses all our resources on highest ridership lines, serving hospitals + neighborhoods where residents have fewest choices. https://www.sfmta.com/blog/sfmta-prepares-deliver-essential-trips-muni-service-only @sfmta_muni
