Muni riders expressed a whole lot of love for the city’s bus and train operators last month, as the number of commendations submitted to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency increased notably on Transit Driver Appreciation Day. SFMTA spokesman Michael Roccaforte said that the agency received 83 commendations on Transit Driver Appreciation Day, March 18. He noted that typically the agency receives that same number of commendations each month.

More city blocks could soon be designated as zones for outdoor boozing during special events under new legislation proposed by San Francisco Mayor Lurie. The zones, called “entertainment zones,” allow patrons to take their alcoholic beverages outdoors during special events in closed-off streets. More of these zones could be coming to the South of Market, the Mission, near Union Square, and even in one of the city’s tourist attractions, Pier 39.

A new bagel and donut shop opened on Ingleside’s Ocean Avenue late last week that offers the usual classic donuts, like old fashioned, buttermilk and twists. North Bay Bagels and Donuts opened on Friday in the former location occupied by Wow Burgers, which had formerly been an outpost of the Muscle Maker Grill chain restaurant. Before that, the spot was occupied by KFC/Taco Bell before it shuttered in 2020. The store offers 20% off orders as a grand opening special through Thursday.

Being stuck in the Muni Metro subway and unable to contact loved ones or friends to inform them that you’ll be late for a dinner date will soon be a thing of the past because cellphone service is finally available throughout the subway system. Director of Transportation Julie Kirschbaum announced last week during her report to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s board that riders would be able to access cell phone service even below the depths of Forest Hill station.
