It’s dangerous less because of the potholes and more because of width of the street. There’s a lot of academic research that says that the wider. A local road is, the more likely it is that people will speed on it just because of psychological and visual reasons. The other thing is that there’s not a ton of traffic slowing infrastructure on it. There’s not modern street lights. You don’t really have bulb outs, which are the little, you know, little corner sections of a sidewalk at an intersection that jut out into the section in the little Sections of it that do have a stop sign. They’re like way on the side. You can’t really see it. People just don’t treat it like a normal street From 2019 to 2023, there were 16 collisions on 18th Street, including three that involved cyclists. I double-checked some of this data, and I didn’t see that any of those collisions were deaths. A few of them were serious injuries. But 18th street, still just because it didn’t lead to any people dying last year, doesn’t mean that it’s not dangerous. Sometimes this means that the community understands how dangerous it is and actually does not try to use it or cross it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:44] Yeah, that’s actually, I’d say something I heard as well from colleagues who live in Oakland is that even if it might be faster for them to take 18th Street to get home, they’re going the longer way, just to avoid walking on that street or driving on it. And if they have to bike on it, they’re biking on the sidewalk. They’re not biking on that actual street itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:04:08] I saw that too yesterday, yeah, I saw a couple of people use the sidewalk as a mini bicycle highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:17] What kind of changes exactly are they going to make to 18th Street to make it safer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] So on 18th Street, we’re going to have new protected intersections, pedestrian safety islands. There’s also going to be a road diet, which means that the road itself is going to narrow. In the map and plans that I’ve seen, I’ve seen all-way stops, which means that they won’t just put a stop red signal on the side of the road, but they will actually put a pole at the top where you see it right as you’re driving. And so it’s right in front of your face. So one of the worst things that they’re trying to figure out all across the city is to figure out how to get people to pay more attention when they’re turning right into the street. A lot of people everywhere will get to a stop sign and even if it’s not their green go, they’ll see a red and then they’ll turn right often while you’re looking to your left. It’s the quick turn, right? Well, what my grandfather used to say, the California turn. You’re not actually stopping, which means that if somebody’s coming from your right side, a lot of are getting hit by that. And so this project has protected intersections where you have this like little V, little concrete portion that is jutting out into the street where you’re literally, it’s physically impossible to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:54] They have a lot of those on Telegraph Avenue, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:05:57] You’ve had some of them on Telegraph Avenue, yep. I think High Street also has a bunch of them now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:03] I mean, it just sounds to me like they’re adding things on to 18th Street that maybe most of us aren’t even thinking about as we’re driving, but they’re just things that psychologically help us to slow down, drive more safely on a street like…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:06:23] And what I would also say is that it’s like science in terms of the encouragement of it, right? So if you have a terrible street, like 18th street, yes, I had the responsibility to look out for these signals, responsibility to drive responsibly. But when the street is not giving me any signals about what to do, then it is also encouraging me to not do the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:57] Coming up, how road fixes could unlock broader improvements to the city of Oakland. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:20] Can you talk about why I guess this is happening? It seems like this has been a long time coming. Where is the money coming from to even do this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:07:24] I believe that this is coming from a affordable housing and sustainable communities grant, which is connected to housing complex development at Mandela station, which is right next to the West Oakland BART station. This is actually happening a lot now, where the Oak Dot transportation department is working with other projects and other departments in the city in order to kind of, you know, I would almost call it like mooch off or like add to their little pile of money of what they’re doing so that the construction and the design of it all becomes cheaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:08:02] And it happens all in one go, right? If you’re gonna build a large building and block it all off, you might as well fix this street too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:08:11] That’s right. And what I heard about this project was that they’ve been ready. The planning and design of 18th Street has been ready to go, but they’ve been waiting for this housing part of it to really start going. And that’s going to happen this spring, finally. I think that there’s a lot of positives that are going to come out of this, including I think you probably saw this, that once you have a better 18th street, people will be able to bike from downtown Oakland all the way to Peralta and Campbell and Wood Street in West Oakland, which is now the Oakland Ballers’ stadium. So people are very excited that they’ll be able to take a straight shot from downtown Oakland and just bike to the games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:08:57] I mean, how much safer do you think this is going to make 18th Street? Is it is it pretty significant? Are people really hopeful?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:09:04] I think anytime you add new infrastructure to a road that has been basically untouched for decades, it will definitely make a difference. How much of a difference? We don’t actually know, but sometimes it is surprising. I mentioned High Street earlier. That was always a really difficult road. I used to take it as a kid with my grandfather to go to the A’s games and that was always a nightmare and just in the last few years when they added infrastructure there, including speed bumps with the little spaces. If you take that street now, which is in East Oakland, you can see that it literally does feel safer. I never wanted to cross the street on high street and now I feel there’s a couple of really nice restaurants over there, including a Jamaican restaurant that I like. And I’ve actually thought a couple times where I’m like, oh, I want to go to that restaurant and I don’t have this abject fear of having to park across or on the other side of the street to go there. So this might lead to a couple other developments that are unexpected, you know, maybe more people. Might be willing to have small businesses or another grocery store or a restaurant on 18th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:24] That’s really interesting to think about how improving the road paves the way, if I may use that term, for maybe helping us to think about the potential opportunities in the community. Having more people walking around, I imagine, might encourage other kinds of development, maybe, in this area that didn’t maybe feel possible before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:10:51] Absolutely. And again, this goes back to the Mandela station development. And this is why they kind of need to change this road. Because if you think about a 240 unit, affordable housing complex, then you’re going to have, you know, a thousand more people hanging out in that area. And you can’t have another thousand people at least walking up and down an absolutely dangerous road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:15] In terms of the timeline, Jose, of this 18th Street project, you mentioned the spring, but I’m wondering about, I guess, the money that it takes to do this kind of stuff and also the political will. How much of a priority would you say this is for the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:11:35] Over the last, especially over the last five, six years, the changing of the roads has been a gigantic and important thing that the city has really focused on changing because it got to such a point that it was affecting your daily life. Politicians that pay attention and wanna serve their community and serve their residents in a way that really matters, pay attention to what people say. And so… I think they looked at it and they also were seeing some of the data. Only a couple of Did I actually start to see city council members list out specifically changes in road conditions as one of their top line first page goals of their administration? All this stuff that seems very, very basic, it became such a part of our environment in Oakland to expect nothing. I think at some point people were just like fed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:41] My last question for you, Jose, I mean, we’ve been talking about just this one street in Oakland, but I wonder what this story about 18th Street says about hopes for improving streets and road safety citywide and even across the whole Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:13:00] What I mentioned earlier about the politicians knowing how important this issue is, is something that is replicated across cities, counties, and increasingly across states. People are seeing how much these changes can make to a city. When people come here and they want to see what’s happening, you might hear about and see a lot of these other positive changes. But if your streets are absolutely crap, you’re gonna be like, well, is it really, is Oakland really on the come up? Is it really doing well? But if the streets are doing well, if they’re well-developed and it feels like it’s safe to be there, to walk around in, that just becomes part of the story and it’s feels. A much better positive environment to be in, potentially bring in a new family, you know, with kids and everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:55] I guess if you see kids on 18th Street, that’s a good sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:13:58] If you see kids anywhere, that’s a good sign. Yeah, it shows that the infrastructure is better, that there’s good schools and that parents feel comfortable enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

So this might lead to a couple other developments that are unexpected, you know, maybe more people. Might be willing to have small businesses or another grocery store or a restaurant on 18th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:24] That’s really interesting to think about how improving the road paves the way, if I may use that term, for maybe helping us to think about the potential opportunities in the community. Having more people walking around, I imagine, might encourage other kinds of development, maybe, in this area that didn’t maybe feel possible before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:10:51] Absolutely. And again, this goes back to the Mandela station development. And this is why they kind of need to change this road. Because if you think about a 240 unit, affordable housing complex, then you’re going to have, you know, a thousand more people hanging out in that area. And you can’t have another thousand people at least walking up and down an absolutely dangerous road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:15] In terms of the timeline, Jose, of this 18th Street project, you mentioned the spring, but I’m wondering about, I guess, the money that it takes to do this kind of stuff and also the political will. How much of a priority would you say this is for the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:11:35] Over the last, especially over the last five, six years, the changing of the roads has been a gigantic and important thing that the city has really focused on changing because it got to such a point that it was affecting your daily life. Politicians that pay attention and wanna serve their community and serve their residents in a way that really matters, pay attention to what people say. And so… I think they looked at it and they also were seeing some of the data. Only a couple of Did I actually start to see city council members list out specifically changes in road conditions as one of their top line first page goals of their administration? All this stuff that seems very, very basic, it became such a part of our environment in Oakland to expect nothing. I think at some point people were just like fed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:41] My last question for you, Jose, I mean, we’ve been talking about just this one street in Oakland, but I wonder what this story about 18th Street says about hopes for improving streets and road safety citywide and even across the whole Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:13:00] What I mentioned earlier about the politicians knowing how important this issue is, is something that is replicated across cities, counties, and increasingly across states. People are seeing how much these changes can make to a city. When people come here and they want to see what’s happening, you might hear about and see a lot of these other positive changes. But if your streets are absolutely crap, you’re gonna be like, well, is it really, is Oakland really on the come up? Is it really doing well? But if the streets are doing well, if they’re well-developed and it feels like it’s safe to be there, to walk around in, that just becomes part of the story and it’s feels. A much better positive environment to be in, potentially bring in a new family, you know, with kids and everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:55] I guess if you see kids on 18th Street, that’s a good sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jose Fermoso \u003c/strong>[00:13:58] If you see kids anywhere, that’s a good sign. Yeah, it shows that the infrastructure is better, that there’s good schools and that parents feel comfortable enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:00:00] I’m Ericka Cruz-Gavara and welcome to The Bay, local news to keep you rooted. Bay Area transit agencies have drawn up nightmare scenarios if they can’t get enough money to help them close their budget deficits. Those nightmare scenarios include the elimination of the red and green BART lines, no BART or Muni after 9 p.m., and, if you can even imagine it, a San Francisco without cable cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:00:35] If that money isn’t raised, then we could see some really big changes to service in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:00:43] SFMTA, which is the agency that runs Muni, says it could cut entire bus lines if voters don’t approve ballot measures to fund transit this November. And even though some of those lines aren’t used by a ton of people, cutting them will impact entire neighborhoods. Today, we take you aboard one such bus line in San Francisco, Muni’s most delayed bus to meet the riders who rely on it every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:01:24] People actually call the 67 a rollercoaster because it goes over so many hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:01:32] Elize Manoukian is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:01:36] It starts at Alemany and then just climbs up to the top of Bernal Heights Park. Beautiful park, has a view of the whole bay and a great view of downtown San Francisco. And then it sort of snakes its way down to 24th Street Mission and then back again. You can ride the whole loop in 25 minutes. It’s also visually kind of funny, it’s only 30 feet long, like about half of a normal bus. It’s diesel powered, because they really have to be chugging up those hills. One of the passengers I talked to for this story, he told me that he puts his backpack on top of his knees so that in case he slides into the seat in front of him, he has a little cushion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:26] And who is riding this bus?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:02:28] It serves a pretty diverse swath of neighborhood residents, everyone from the people who live at the Alemany Apartments, which is a affordable housing complex. It also climbs up through the Bernal Heights hilly neighborhood, which has a lot of single-family homes, a lot of wealthier tech residents in the city. I see a lot of kids take it to school. It serves Paul Revere Elementary and a couple other schools in the mission in Bernal Heights. And then of course it serves the people who live in the Mission right by 24th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:06] And is it often like a crowded bus? Are people like standing on this roller coaster?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:03:11] Not really. It’s quite, it can get a little busy during the morning commute, but it only gets about 800 riders per day, which is down from half before the pandemic. That’s a pretty low volume route. You know, some of the busses, like the 38, will serve up to 25,000 people a day. It’s a smaller neighborhood route that connects people from neighborhood to neighborhood, as opposed to taking them straight to downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:40] And you are someone who frequently uses this bus, is that right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:03:43] Yeah, I’m right off of Courtland Street, and so I take it to get to 24th Street BART all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:51] Just besides the fact that you ride it, what is so special about the 67? Why did you want to focus on this particular bus line in your reporting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:04:00] Well, I agree. I think it is a very magical line, but yeah, it also is the most delayed bus in San Francisco, which I learned one day when I was trying to take it to BART so I could go see my friend in Oakland on Valentine’s Day. And it never came. And it made me wonder, like, is this a common experience? And I found out that one in 67’s will depart very late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gil Diaz \u003c/strong>[00:04:27] So if I miss one bus, I could be waiting 20, 30 minutes for the next one, maybe longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:04:33] I also talked to a guy named Gil Diaz. He also rides the 67 and he gets on at the same stop as me and he takes it to 24th Street and then goes to work from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gil Diaz \u003c/strong>[00:04:44] I just noticed that there’s a gap between pickups. Yeah, I get that anxiety. Like, oh, every minute’s counting because it’s going to affect the next bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:04:54] You know, the bus runs every 20 minutes, so if one doesn’t come or one is very delayed, then you can be waiting like almost an hour for it to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:04] That’s the worst feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:05] I know, especially on a cold San Francisco chilly day, you know?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:08] Totally. And then what do you do if you miss the bus? Like what are your options?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:17] You know, there’s always another bus, luckily Muni is really well connected, but you can end up taking a completely different route, having to travel to different corners of the city to get to where you need to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:28] Going up and down those hills on foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:30] That’s true, you can always take the “chevro-legs” and just climb up the hill, climb up to the top of Bernal Heights and climb down, which is really a workout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:41] I mean, why is this particular line the most delayed bus in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] So I asked SFMTA the same question, and it really does have to do with the steep grades of the route, the very sharp turns that it has to make as it snakes around the Bernal Heights Hill and around these very narrow streets and neighborhoods. I asked if it had to do with a Muni operator shortage or a vehicle shortage, and they told me that there wasn’t one at this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:17] A lot of people still rely on the 67, it sounds like, but it could actually also go away, right? Can you explain the sort of looming threats to SFMTA and also lines like the 67?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:06:31] So like other transit agencies in the Bay, the SFMTA is in trouble. It’s facing a more than $300 million deficit starting in July. And that number is only projected to grow over the next couple of years because of things like rising costs and lower fare revenue since the pandemic. So the SFMTA, they’re looking at a lot of different scenarios to help them work through this. One of them is a parcel tax on the ballot in November. There’s also a second regional tax that people across the Bay Area can vote on. Part of the revenue raised by that sales tax will go to fund Muni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:16] As well as BART.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:07:19] Exactly. AC Transit, among others. But, you know, that’s all hypothetical at this point. If that money isn’t raised, then we could see some really big changes to service in San Francisco. And one of the proposed changes would be cutting the 67, which, yeah, like I said, serves a really hilly community and there is no parallel line and 11 other lines like it which also serve hilly neighborhoods, could also be impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:51] Is SFMTA doing to try and prove that it is still worth funding? I mean, with these ballot measures going before voters, I imagine they want to make a good case that they’re worth keeping around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:08:07] Definitely. And I will say, the SFMTA actually just released its ridership survey for the year, and it got really, really high reviews from San Francisco residents. I think it was something like 78% said that they had good or excellent experiences with Muni. So I think that people are happy with the service that they’re getting for the most part. But they’re also trying some kind of interesting things, too, to improve their service, especially since the pandemic, when a lot of lines were cut pretty much overnight, but some people still needed to get around the city. So one thing that they did was switch their busier lines, like the 38, the 22, and the 1, they switched those busier lines over to a system that’s called headway. So instead of operating on traditional bus schedules, they switched to intervals. They really focused on making sure that busses were spaced out evenly instead of adhering to a strict schedule. So instead if your bus coming right at 3 p.m., your bus would come every 10 minutes or every five minutes for some of these busier lines. And they said that they were getting really positive feedback from that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brent Jones \u003c/strong>[00:09:26] The whole idea is to stay flexible and nimble and be able to adjust our service with the actual customer needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:09:34] Brent Jones is the director of transit for SFMTA. He’s been with the agency for nearly three decades. And he was there when they decided to make this switch over from a schedule-based system for the busier lines over to this thing that’s called headway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brent Jones \u003c/strong>[00:09:51] So what we found was that we had less issues with people being upset about their vehicle being late as opposed to, hey, but even if I see it pulling off, I know another one will be there within 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:05] Yeah, I feel like that is something that would help me as someone who’s not really always interested in checking which bus I should take. It’s good to just show up to a bus stop and know that if there’s not one there, there will at least be one in 10 minutes or less, essentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:10:22] Yeah, you know that it’s going to come and that you’re not going to see like three busses bunched up and then one doesn’t come for half an hour. It’s going be more regular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:31] And so is this happening with the 67 as well?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:10:36] No, it’s not. Because the 67 is a smaller line and it comes every 20 minutes, it doesn’t make sense for the agency to make this change for all of its busses in circulation. So about half of them are still on schedules and then half of the have switched over to this kind of experimental system. Out of all of these lower volume routes, which are still on schedules, only 56% of them depart on time, which is still not great. But at least they’re trying the headway and it’s getting them some better results for the busier lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:12] There are these efforts like this parcel tax in San Francisco, this region-wide ballot measure to try and prevent these worst-case scenarios where lines like the 67 go away completely. Do we know how helpful some of these efforts might actually be?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:11:30] I think they would be a game changer. I think collectively they would raise enough to be able to allow it to keep operating. And they would for sure stop it from having to make major reductions, not just to service, but also to staff and to some of their other projects, like improving bus stops across the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:51] And saving the 67.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:11:52] And saving the 67.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:55] I mean, if it went away, like, what would that mean for you and all the other folks who rely on it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:12:03] For people who are trying to connect from these hilly neighborhoods to BART, their commutes are gonna be a lot more challenging. For the kids who are trying to get from the Alemany Apartments to their middle school across the street, it’s gonna be, a lot, it’s going to be a really long, difficult walk every morning. So, yeah, it would definitely throw a wrench in people’s mornings. I love the 67 community and I love the bus drivers on it. Shouts out to Hannibal Thompson, who’s one of my favorite drivers. And I hope that they stay, they stick around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:39] Hope it sticks around for you and all those kids. Thank you so much for joining me, Elize. I appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:12:45] Thanks for letting me talk about my bus.\u003c/p>\n\n",

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:00:00] I’m Ericka Cruz-Gavara and welcome to The Bay, local news to keep you rooted. Bay Area transit agencies have drawn up nightmare scenarios if they can’t get enough money to help them close their budget deficits. Those nightmare scenarios include the elimination of the red and green BART lines, no BART or Muni after 9 p.m., and, if you can even imagine it, a San Francisco without cable cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:00:35] If that money isn’t raised, then we could see some really big changes to service in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:00:43] SFMTA, which is the agency that runs Muni, says it could cut entire bus lines if voters don’t approve ballot measures to fund transit this November. And even though some of those lines aren’t used by a ton of people, cutting them will impact entire neighborhoods. Today, we take you aboard one such bus line in San Francisco, Muni’s most delayed bus to meet the riders who rely on it every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:01:24] People actually call the 67 a rollercoaster because it goes over so many hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:01:32] Elize Manoukian is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:01:36] It starts at Alemany and then just climbs up to the top of Bernal Heights Park. Beautiful park, has a view of the whole bay and a great view of downtown San Francisco. And then it sort of snakes its way down to 24th Street Mission and then back again. You can ride the whole loop in 25 minutes. It’s also visually kind of funny, it’s only 30 feet long, like about half of a normal bus. It’s diesel powered, because they really have to be chugging up those hills. One of the passengers I talked to for this story, he told me that he puts his backpack on top of his knees so that in case he slides into the seat in front of him, he has a little cushion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:26] And who is riding this bus?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:02:28] It serves a pretty diverse swath of neighborhood residents, everyone from the people who live at the Alemany Apartments, which is a affordable housing complex. It also climbs up through the Bernal Heights hilly neighborhood, which has a lot of single-family homes, a lot of wealthier tech residents in the city. I see a lot of kids take it to school. It serves Paul Revere Elementary and a couple other schools in the mission in Bernal Heights. And then of course it serves the people who live in the Mission right by 24th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:06] And is it often like a crowded bus? Are people like standing on this roller coaster?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:03:11] Not really. It’s quite, it can get a little busy during the morning commute, but it only gets about 800 riders per day, which is down from half before the pandemic. That’s a pretty low volume route. You know, some of the busses, like the 38, will serve up to 25,000 people a day. It’s a smaller neighborhood route that connects people from neighborhood to neighborhood, as opposed to taking them straight to downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:40] And you are someone who frequently uses this bus, is that right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:03:43] Yeah, I’m right off of Courtland Street, and so I take it to get to 24th Street BART all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:51] Just besides the fact that you ride it, what is so special about the 67? Why did you want to focus on this particular bus line in your reporting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:04:00] Well, I agree. I think it is a very magical line, but yeah, it also is the most delayed bus in San Francisco, which I learned one day when I was trying to take it to BART so I could go see my friend in Oakland on Valentine’s Day. And it never came. And it made me wonder, like, is this a common experience? And I found out that one in 67’s will depart very late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gil Diaz \u003c/strong>[00:04:27] So if I miss one bus, I could be waiting 20, 30 minutes for the next one, maybe longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:04:33] I also talked to a guy named Gil Diaz. He also rides the 67 and he gets on at the same stop as me and he takes it to 24th Street and then goes to work from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gil Diaz \u003c/strong>[00:04:44] I just noticed that there’s a gap between pickups. Yeah, I get that anxiety. Like, oh, every minute’s counting because it’s going to affect the next bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:04:54] You know, the bus runs every 20 minutes, so if one doesn’t come or one is very delayed, then you can be waiting like almost an hour for it to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:04] That’s the worst feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:05] I know, especially on a cold San Francisco chilly day, you know?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:08] Totally. And then what do you do if you miss the bus? Like what are your options?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:17] You know, there’s always another bus, luckily Muni is really well connected, but you can end up taking a completely different route, having to travel to different corners of the city to get to where you need to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:28] Going up and down those hills on foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:30] That’s true, you can always take the “chevro-legs” and just climb up the hill, climb up to the top of Bernal Heights and climb down, which is really a workout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:41] I mean, why is this particular line the most delayed bus in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] So I asked SFMTA the same question, and it really does have to do with the steep grades of the route, the very sharp turns that it has to make as it snakes around the Bernal Heights Hill and around these very narrow streets and neighborhoods. I asked if it had to do with a Muni operator shortage or a vehicle shortage, and they told me that there wasn’t one at this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:17] A lot of people still rely on the 67, it sounds like, but it could actually also go away, right? Can you explain the sort of looming threats to SFMTA and also lines like the 67?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:06:31] So like other transit agencies in the Bay, the SFMTA is in trouble. It’s facing a more than $300 million deficit starting in July. And that number is only projected to grow over the next couple of years because of things like rising costs and lower fare revenue since the pandemic. So the SFMTA, they’re looking at a lot of different scenarios to help them work through this. One of them is a parcel tax on the ballot in November. There’s also a second regional tax that people across the Bay Area can vote on. Part of the revenue raised by that sales tax will go to fund Muni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:16] As well as BART.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:07:19] Exactly. AC Transit, among others. But, you know, that’s all hypothetical at this point. If that money isn’t raised, then we could see some really big changes to service in San Francisco. And one of the proposed changes would be cutting the 67, which, yeah, like I said, serves a really hilly community and there is no parallel line and 11 other lines like it which also serve hilly neighborhoods, could also be impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:51] Is SFMTA doing to try and prove that it is still worth funding? I mean, with these ballot measures going before voters, I imagine they want to make a good case that they’re worth keeping around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:08:07] Definitely. And I will say, the SFMTA actually just released its ridership survey for the year, and it got really, really high reviews from San Francisco residents. I think it was something like 78% said that they had good or excellent experiences with Muni. So I think that people are happy with the service that they’re getting for the most part. But they’re also trying some kind of interesting things, too, to improve their service, especially since the pandemic, when a lot of lines were cut pretty much overnight, but some people still needed to get around the city. So one thing that they did was switch their busier lines, like the 38, the 22, and the 1, they switched those busier lines over to a system that’s called headway. So instead of operating on traditional bus schedules, they switched to intervals. They really focused on making sure that busses were spaced out evenly instead of adhering to a strict schedule. So instead if your bus coming right at 3 p.m., your bus would come every 10 minutes or every five minutes for some of these busier lines. And they said that they were getting really positive feedback from that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brent Jones \u003c/strong>[00:09:26] The whole idea is to stay flexible and nimble and be able to adjust our service with the actual customer needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:09:34] Brent Jones is the director of transit for SFMTA. He’s been with the agency for nearly three decades. And he was there when they decided to make this switch over from a schedule-based system for the busier lines over to this thing that’s called headway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brent Jones \u003c/strong>[00:09:51] So what we found was that we had less issues with people being upset about their vehicle being late as opposed to, hey, but even if I see it pulling off, I know another one will be there within 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:05] Yeah, I feel like that is something that would help me as someone who’s not really always interested in checking which bus I should take. It’s good to just show up to a bus stop and know that if there’s not one there, there will at least be one in 10 minutes or less, essentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:10:22] Yeah, you know that it’s going to come and that you’re not going to see like three busses bunched up and then one doesn’t come for half an hour. It’s going be more regular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:31] And so is this happening with the 67 as well?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:10:36] No, it’s not. Because the 67 is a smaller line and it comes every 20 minutes, it doesn’t make sense for the agency to make this change for all of its busses in circulation. So about half of them are still on schedules and then half of the have switched over to this kind of experimental system. Out of all of these lower volume routes, which are still on schedules, only 56% of them depart on time, which is still not great. But at least they’re trying the headway and it’s getting them some better results for the busier lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:12] There are these efforts like this parcel tax in San Francisco, this region-wide ballot measure to try and prevent these worst-case scenarios where lines like the 67 go away completely. Do we know how helpful some of these efforts might actually be?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:11:30] I think they would be a game changer. I think collectively they would raise enough to be able to allow it to keep operating. And they would for sure stop it from having to make major reductions, not just to service, but also to staff and to some of their other projects, like improving bus stops across the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:51] And saving the 67.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:11:52] And saving the 67.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:55] I mean, if it went away, like, what would that mean for you and all the other folks who rely on it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elize Manoukian \u003c/strong>[00:12:03] For people who are trying to connect from these hilly neighborhoods to BART, their commutes are gonna be a lot more challenging. For the kids who are trying to get from the Alemany Apartments to their middle school across the street, it’s gonna be, a lot, it’s going to be a really long, difficult walk every morning. So, yeah, it would definitely throw a wrench in people’s mornings. I love the 67 community and I love the bus drivers on it. Shouts out to Hannibal Thompson, who’s one of my favorite drivers. And I hope that they stay, they stick around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:39] Hope it sticks around for you and all those kids. Thank you so much for joining me, Elize. I appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
