Pedal Power: Celebrating Bike to Wherever Day

4 days ago | sfmta.com | Melissa Culross

Some people love to bike, like Lisa Charlebois, whom we met one recent morning at Brecks, a café in the Inner Richmond. If Charlebois can’t pedal somewhere, she’ll hop on Muni to get there. She hopes Bike to Wherever Day can inspire more people to try biking. “For me, it’s a part of my everyday life, but it would be great if people could see that biking can be a very viable and realistic way of getting yourself to wherever you need to go” Charlebois said. “It doesn’t have to just be recreation.

We want to make electric vehicle charging more accessible in San Francisco. So, along with SF Environment, Public Works and the Public Utilities Commission, we’re bringing charging the curb. We are starting to create a network of charging stations at parking spaces throughout the city. That’s in addition to the charging stations in our garages. This pilot program will make it more convenient for people who drive EVs to charge in San Francisco.
Thank You for Making Transit Employee Appreciation Day a Success

1 month ago | sfmta.com | Madhu Unnikrishnan

We saw a boost in people riding and sending in praise – commendations – for our operators on Transit Employee Appreciation Day. Thank you for your support. March 18 this year was a banner day here at the SFMTA. It was Transit Employee Appreciation Day, and so many of you rode Muni and showed your appreciation that it’s our turn to thank you. How many? We surpassed 531,000 riders on March 18, or 35,000 more riders than our average daily March ridership.
San Francisco State Broadcasting Students Create Muni-Focused Traffic Reports

1 month ago | sfmta.com | Melissa Culross

Muni recently became an even more important transportation option. SF State used to have a dedicated shuttle that ran between campus and Daly City BART. However, that shuttle was discontinued last year. So, students, faculty and staff who take BART now count on the 28, 28R, 57 and 58 buses to get to the Daly City station. And through the Gator Pass transit program, SF State students can use their student ID to ride public transit, including Muni.

Major companies such as OpenAI and Databricks are expanding their offices in Mission Bay and downtown. That means thousands of new employees could be commuting via Muni in the coming years. In February, San Francisco hosted the NBA All Stars and just last week, the NCAA for March Madness games. The city is also preparing to host major events like Super Bowl LX and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Combined, these events are expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to San Francisco.

Our riders regularly use mobile phones to work, check in with friends and family and get news and information no matter where they are. So now, they don’t have to worry about losing connection while they’re underground on Muni. All of this supports and improves our customer experience. Providing cell service underground also will help us generate revenue. This is another part of our partnership with BART.

Today is Transit Employee Appreciation Day - Join us to Celebrate!

This has been a bit of a quest for Muni bus operator Mc Allen. “Muni operators often are invisible to the public,” he said. “I wanted to do something about it.”Allen realized that many passengers may not know there’s a commendation system for operators. He created a website to let riders know how to commend operators. “I want to remind San Franciscans that there is a way to show your appreciation,” he said.
