so when is SF doing the ballot prop to municipalize PG&E assets? www.publicpowersf.org

Cars are not as useful as people think they are in a widespread emergency or natural disaster. Driverless cars even less so.

Trains are not stopping at Powell St. and Civic Center due to a power outage.

someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence

Ahh yes, the "easiest way" to check if my Clipper Card has been upgraded. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is there any good guides for financing an ADU in California?

Clipper website is still down. Has anyone succeeded at activating Clipper 2 today? Maybe by phone?

This tweet is actually about San Francisco

Wanna bet that stencil on the pavement doesn't say "Waymo Only"?

Jonathan Hale was arrested by LAPD today for painting a crosswalk, even as the city of Los Angeles funnels more money to LAPD and does gymnastics to avoid implementing HLA. @mayor.lacity.gov, Jonny has made repeated attempts to meet with your office and has been iced out. Angelenos deserve better.

I agree with Miles. Muni Metro is just a bad system, its worse than the bus. Its proof the new vehicles with the slow doors make a slow system even slower. The only good-ish part is the subway portions which should be fully separated from the streetcars, anyways. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDEc...

L.A. redesigned a road to slow traffic. People fought to reverse the safety improvements and won. Then one of the advocates hit and killed a woman walking her dog (the dog died too). This should be a lawsuit. The city is liable along with the driver. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

How many people shoving you does it take for an adult to learn to take off their backpack on a packed subway train? This ain’t 2021, my friends. The trains are too crowded for you to wear backpacks.

😱The clock is ticking on Mike & Nancy’s offer to double every gift to Walk SF! Go to walksf.org/donate now to step up for safe streets before midnight. Don’t miss this chance to 2x your support of safe streets in the city you ❤️. #GivingTuesday

I hope every transit agency doesn't shut up about this for months out there every day putting signs in front of drivers telling them transit just got cheaper so why not take the bus and enjoy not being stuck in traffic this is one of the largest non-capital project changes to transit in decades

You will either need to wait for your existing Clipper card to be upgraded to 2.0, or pay using a CC/tap-to-pay on your phone (note: not a digital a Clipper card; see first point) The transition could be less confusing, but this will be HUGE when it happens

Bad journalism has real-life consequences.

HAPPY MONTH OF CLIPPER 2.0 LAUNCH (fingers crossed) (knocks on wood) the countdown officially begins!

We can restore at least 2019 service if we pass Muni Now, Muni Forever's community parcel tax proposal. But Daniel Lurie is pushing his own version that would lock in cuts (in order to save millions for downtown companies like Marc Benioff's Salesforce who just got Trump tax cuts). Write a letter!

SF has the same problem: a fire department obsessed with the risk they've largely solved (fire) and unwilling to consider safer streets at the same priority. Vision Zero isn't even mentioned in the SFFD capital plan. Hard to buy equipment fit to use when you're not considering the use.

there are *incredibly negative* health effects associated w/ noise annoyance, dementia, cardiac issues, death and yet we do NOT measure noise pollution in the US - don't do anything to mitigate it either in fact it's the opposite: we focus density on the loudest roads bsky.app/profile/holz...

Davis Street, 1971c Just something great about this John Holtzclaw image from underneath the Embarcadero Freeway ramps with the Alcoa Building in the background, part of the recent SFMemory.org update #sfhistory #sfmemory

In which SFMTA staff "recommend" (but they're not letting the board vote, they're just going to do it) expanding Waymo, Uber, and Lyft onto what was supposed to be car-free Market 24/7. Come to City Hall 12/2 at 4pm and tell the board to close the loophole instead.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are. The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

Hey I have cell service in the Central Subway now?? 👀

Our riders put the ART in BART. We love seeing riders' interpretations of maps, train carts, stations, etc. This piece was created by @mousefists on Instagram "sometimes BART is a magical place" 🪄 We couldn't agree more!

When pregnant woman boarded a subway car, 38% of the time someone offered her a seat. If someone dressed as Batman was also in the car it rose to 68%. phys.org/news/2025-11...

How i miss these roomy bus interiors 🥹 #sfmuni

Someones gotta photoshop MTG into here.

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup. If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock. www.thedriverlessdigest.com/p/what-cpuc-...

Call to action (erm, 📨email to action): Mayor Lurie needs to hear your desire for a robust and fully funded Muni _this week_. Background follows. Next November, with a little luck, there will be two measures on your ballot to fund transit. Both have to pass for Muni to not cut up to 50% of service.

Bottom line: even if you don't believe in climate change, don't care about people who can't afford cars, and will never personally take the bus, *you benefit* from your federal tax dollars going to transit. We figured this out during the flipping Reagan administration, and it is wild to deny it now.

Final hearing to save #HayesPromenade this Tuesday. Email comments are so helpful, in-person comments even more so. Thank you for supporting! hayespromenade.org/blog/save-ha...

Since the Mayor decided to allow Waymo, Lyft, and Uber to drive on Market Street, we've seen an increase in all kinds of private vehicles. This has slowed Muni and made the corridor less safe for people walking, rolling, and biking.

slide 1 item 2 gives some interesting details They are talking about using a mix of PSD and object detection and may not use PSD at every station, be interesting to see how that handles snow BART should be bringing back the goal to add PSD at core stations

Me when I give a low ridership bus an extra rider:

“So I must insist again: you have to stop at a red light, or else all of society will crumble”

Waymo is capillaries to Caltrain’s aorta

"Zohran Mamdani will be the first mayor of New York City in decades not to own a car" Will be exciting to see if he can implement his vision to pedestrianize areas in the congestion pricing zone and dedicate entire streets as combo busways + active transportation

Planting street trees is the cheapest way I can think of to improve quality of life in cities and San Francisco is moving in the wrong direction. People love citing "ADA" for all sorts of bogus reasons and this is a prime example share.google/zEnGVcsFtEhq... Via @streetsblogsf.bsky.social

Very-low-information voters with short attention spans and jumbled memory. "I disliked Biden because [thing Trump did], and I missed Trump because [thing Biden did]. I voted for Trump again because I wanted [thing Harris promised]. But I really hope that Trump doesn't [core Trump campaign promise]."

“Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day.”

Regular reminder that we install signal poles and light posts with breakaway bolts *with the explicit purpose* of allowing cars to cleanly drive through them. This results in the regular wiping of pedestrian off sidewalks, who might imagine that they are protected by nearby infrastructure.
