San Francisco Muni Is Running Late
A recent report has revealed some shortcomings of San Francisco's Municipal Railway system: Muni busses and railcars arrive on schedule only 70%of the time. The issue is underlined by a 1999 measure that sought an on-time percentage of 85% by 2004.
"Systemwide, Muni buses and streetcars arrive on schedule 70 percent of the time. The main reason they don't run on schedule: congested streets that slow buses and trains, and a shortage of drivers, which means that some runs are missed altogether. City officials say they are moving to fix the problems."
"Reliability was one of the key issues expected to be addressed under Proposition E, 1999's voter-approved reform measure. Voters said that by 2004, at least 85 percent of Muni's vehicles must run on time."
"The deadline has come and gone with the goal nowhere close to being met."
