Don't Take Our Bus Away
San Francisco General Users Urge SFMuni to Keep the #33 Line to the County Hospital
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has long been crafting a comprehensive overhaul of the Muni system originally called the Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP) and now known as Muni Forward. An ambitious citywide collection of route and bus stop changes, the project, as described on its website, “will help us to better accommodate the needs of families, seniors, and the disabled....” Some riders, however, are questioning that self-assessment, particularly in connection with a line that serves the county hospital.
A proposed Muni Forward reroute shows the #33 continuing east on 16th Street at Potrero and no longer serving San Francisco General Hospital. Riders traveling to the public hospital on the #33 would have to transfer at 16th Street to the #9 San Bruno. Patients and staff at SFGH, neighbors, and advocates for senior and disabled Muni riders have all voiced objections to the plan to reroute the #33 away from Potrero and the public hospital. So far, the SFMTA has resisted a suggested solution, but officials have agreed to conduct a survey of riders.
