"SFMTA says subway delays have fallen 50% from pre-pandemic levels, which has also increased reliability for bus service as well. He said the need to make these improvements hinges on the agency’s dependence on voters deciding whether to fund its operations."

And with the improvements in reliability, I've stopped driving in SF (that means I'm not competing for parking spaces or contributing to congestion). I hope the drivers appreciate that more reliable bus services helps them as well

All of which is to say - PLEASE - vote #YesOnPropL - it helps everyone.

Muni meets major monthly milestone

Ridership reaches level not seen since pandemic.

Of course PropM is intended to reduce tax burdens on small business - which is why it doesn't want L "...which would increase taxes on Waymo, Lyft and Uber to fund Muni," to take effect. Waymo is a subsidiary of Alphabet aka Google, at $2 trillion market cap, and Lyft is very small at only $5 billion.

And, as a pedestrian and bus rider, I regularly see how these companies vehicles contribute to delaying MUNI service - and we certainly don't want better MUNI services. Why if bus travel time and crowding improved, more people might use the bus.

#YesOnPropL #FundTheBus and please, just don't vote on Prop M. If it doesn't get more votes than L, Prop L will take effect. So just leave Prop M options blank.

Business-tax reform threatens Muni funding measure

Prop. L needs 50%-plus and to outdraw Prop. M to pass.
