The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) continues its nonstop propaganda and actual war on seniors, low income and disabled by keeping on their books a plan to cut the 33 Ashbury MUNI bus to San Francisco General Hospital. Come this coming Monday, June 20, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. at the Mission Cultural Center, Mission Street (between 24 and 25th Sts) to protest these drastic cuts.

For letters from Barbara Garcia, Director of Health at the Department of Public Health and the Coalition for San Francisco Neighborhoods, see:

ALSO PROTEST the elimination of bus stops on Van Ness at California, Geary and O'Farrell, urgently needed by seniors and disabled people at all times, and for the Geary and O'Farrell stops, to transfer to/from the 38 Geary to get to medical appointments in the Union Square medical building area (450 Sutter, 490 Post, etc).

ALL OF THESE MEETINGS HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT TIME if you do not see your item on the agenda.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ELIMINATING BUS STOPS ON VAN NESS OR THE 33 ASHBURY LINE. This is all a gentrification scheme. Remind the SFMTA that it is LABOR THAT CREATES ALL WEALTH and without our labor, we have no city. Our goal must be to make cars a luxury in our crowded city, and to that end, we must save the 33 Ashbury Line and all bus stops.

This information is old and inaccurate. The SFMTA has agreed to keep the 33 Ashbury on Potrero Avenue, continuing to serve San Francisco General Hospital:
