San Francisco Tech Buses May Not Be That Big a Deal After All, At Least for MUNI

For the last two months, commuter shuttle conflicts with San Francisco Muni buses have gotten better since the city’s transportation agency implemented a one-year pilot that dictates where commuter shuttles can load and unload passengers at Muni bus stops. 

Project Manager Carli Paine said last Friday at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s policy meeting that feedback from Muni drivers has been good, other than a few isolated incidents of bad driver behavior: “What we’ve heard from them is that things have gotten better, especially on some of our rapid corridors like Van Ness.” 

The Commuter Shuttle pilot program, which back in August, allows permitted commuter shuttle companies to pick up and drop off employees from tech companies like Google and Facebook using a network of Muni stops and white zones approved by the SFMTA.
