San Francisco Main Lines
It's ironic that we're posting this latest version of our map of all major transit routes in San Francisco, including bus lines that run every 10 minutes or more often throughout the day, just as the SFMTA board is considering service cuts that might have some of those lines run every 11 or 12 minutes. An extra minute or two might not sound like much. But a 10 percent reduction in service means more crowding, less reliability, and ultimately, buses that should come every 10 minutes coming every 15, 20 or more apart. There are alternatives — let the board and the mayor know how you feel. By the way, we will freely admit that we borrowed elements of this map from this map by Vancouver's TransLink.
