San Francisco Transit Riders has officially signed on to the ballot argument for the Connect Bay Area Regional Transportation Ballot Measure. Passing this measure and Prop H: Stronger Muni for All will prevent harmful transit cuts and set us up for future growth in a more connected Bay Area.
COMMUNITY Magazine is looking for writers to share transit stories, Muni tips, and ideas for the future of Bay Area transit. You might write a short love letter to your favorite operator, explore a piece of local transit history, or pitch something entirely new.
