(The San Francisco Chronicle's John King noted during an episode of KQED's \"Forum\" program this week that Muni, the city's transit system, may have come up with a sly workaround that avoids using the word \"Salesforce\" on its buses. The Muni lines that terminate there -- the 5 Fulton, the 7 Haight-Noriega and the 38 Geary -- have destination signs saying \"SF Transit Center.\") \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to why it's being called the Salesforce Transit Center, instead of the plain old Transbay Transit Center: It's strictly a matter of dollars and cents. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the agency formed to build and operate the center, says the sprawling complex will cost something like $27 million a year to run. The authority sold naming rights to Salesforce, whose new megatower shares a portion of the transit center site. The proceeds: $110 million for 25 years (That's $4.4 million a year. Where will the rest of the money come from? The main sources are bridge tolls collected through Regional Measures 2 and 3 and proceeds from leases on the center's retail space.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]5[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>The transit center has a park on top?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does. And by all accounts -- we have not been up there yet, but you can see dense foliage atop the building if you're in the neighborhood -- it's a wonder to behold. The park includes 10 distinct gardens, including a redwood forest, wetland garden and Australian and South African gardens. The rooftop also features a music stage and children's playground. For more on the park, see:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>San Francisco Chronicle:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Super-cool-transit-center-and-park-opens-in-13150443.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Public most on board with Transbay Transit Center's 'super cool' new park\u003c/a>'\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://salesforcetransitcenter.com/salesforce-park/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Official park website\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://salesforcetransitcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/TJPA-Park-Rules-Adopted-9-7-17.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Official park rules\u003c/a>, from the Transbay Joint Powers Authority.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]6[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>How much did the transit center cost?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price tag: $2.159 billion. That sounds like, and is, a lot. For a sliver of historical context: The original Transbay Terminal, built as an adjunct to the Bay Bridge, cost about $3 million, equivalent to about $55.8 million in 2018 dollars. But the two facilities are vastly different: The new transit center includes a double-deck underground train platform in preparation for the day when Caltrain, the Peninsula commuter service, and California high-speed rail can roll into San Francisco. The new center also features a quarter-mile-long, 5.4-acre rooftop park, a major amenity in the city's downtown core. For more on the park:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]7[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>When will the transit center connect to Caltrain and high-speed rail? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's uncertain, and a huge amount of work needs to be done before trains can get to the new terminal: The rail route that currently carries Caltrain into the city must be extended from 4th and Townsend streets, its current terminus, another mile and a half to Mission and Fremont streets. That likely will involve a major tunneling project. But before any of that happens, the city and partner transportation agencies will need to choose the exact alignment and rail/tunnel configuration -- a decision due by the end of this year. The city's \u003ca href=\"http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/__Agendas+and+Minutes/JPB/2018/2018-08-02+-+RAB+study+revised.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">current preferred alternative\u003c/a> is to run a tunnel under Pennsylvania Avenue from near Cesar Chavez Street, then zigzag into downtown by way of Townsend and Second streets. The new route and tunnel would cost at least $6 billion, and Caltrain could start rolling into downtown by 2026 or 2027. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for high-speed rail, current estimates are it could begin service by the end of the next decade. No, that doesn't sound very soon or like we know it will happen for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]8[/dropcap]\u003cstrong> Does the center connect to BART?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not yet. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority envisions building an 800-foot tunnel under Beale Street from the transit center to the Embarcadero BART/Muni Metro station on Market Street. There's no date set for that project. In the meantime, you can continue your brisk above-ground hike to BART. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]9[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>I want to eat and drink and shop. Can I do that at the new transit center? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, although the process of leasing retail space is only partly completed and only pop-up retail shops will be in place at first. Announced tenants include Philz Coffee, a bar run by South of Market watering hole Eddie Rickenbacker's, Fitness SF and Onsite Dental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]10[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>What bus services will use the new transit center?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>San Francisco Muni:\u003c/strong> Started service from the street-level bus plaza in June.

(The San Francisco Chronicle's John King noted during an episode of KQED's \"Forum\" program this week that Muni, the city's transit system, may have come up with a sly workaround that avoids using the word \"Salesforce\" on its buses. The Muni lines that terminate there -- the 5 Fulton, the 7 Haight-Noriega and the 38 Geary -- have destination signs saying \"SF Transit Center.\") \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to why it's being called the Salesforce Transit Center, instead of the plain old Transbay Transit Center: It's strictly a matter of dollars and cents. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the agency formed to build and operate the center, says the sprawling complex will cost something like $27 million a year to run. The authority sold naming rights to Salesforce, whose new megatower shares a portion of the transit center site. The proceeds: $110 million for 25 years (That's $4.4 million a year. Where will the rest of the money come from? The main sources are bridge tolls collected through Regional Measures 2 and 3 and proceeds from leases on the center's retail space.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">5\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>The transit center has a park on top?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does. And by all accounts -- we have not been up there yet, but you can see dense foliage atop the building if you're in the neighborhood -- it's a wonder to behold. The park includes 10 distinct gardens, including a redwood forest, wetland garden and Australian and South African gardens. The rooftop also features a music stage and children's playground.

That sounds like, and is, a lot. For a sliver of historical context: The original Transbay Terminal, built as an adjunct to the Bay Bridge, cost about $3 million, equivalent to about $55.8 million in 2018 dollars. But the two facilities are vastly different: The new transit center includes a double-deck underground train platform in preparation for the day when Caltrain, the Peninsula commuter service, and California high-speed rail can roll into San Francisco. The new center also features a quarter-mile-long, 5.4-acre rooftop park, a major amenity in the city's downtown core. For more on the park:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">7\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>When will the transit center connect to Caltrain and high-speed rail? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's uncertain, and a huge amount of work needs to be done before trains can get to the new terminal: The rail route that currently carries Caltrain into the city must be extended from 4th and Townsend streets, its current terminus, another mile and a half to Mission and Fremont streets. That likely will involve a major tunneling project. But before any of that happens, the city and partner transportation agencies will need to choose the exact alignment and rail/tunnel configuration -- a decision due by the end of this year. The city's \u003ca href=\"http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/__Agendas+and+Minutes/JPB/2018/2018-08-02+-+RAB+study+revised.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">current preferred alternative\u003c/a> is to run a tunnel under Pennsylvania Avenue from near Cesar Chavez Street, then zigzag into downtown by way of Townsend and Second streets. The new route and tunnel would cost at least $6 billion, and Caltrain could start rolling into downtown by 2026 or 2027. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for high-speed rail, current estimates are it could begin service by the end of the next decade. No, that doesn't sound very soon or like we know it will happen for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">8\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Does the center connect to BART?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not yet. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority envisions building an 800-foot tunnel under Beale Street from the transit center to the Embarcadero BART/Muni Metro station on Market Street. There's no date set for that project. In the meantime, you can continue your brisk above-ground hike to BART. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">9\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>I want to eat and drink and shop.

An expired transfer would mean having to pay a second fare to get to her destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was so frustrating,\" she said earlier this week. \"I thought, 'What can I do?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It dawned on her that extending the transfer time would be a way to alleviate the stress and expense for riders with long commutes across the city. She joined San Francisco Transit Riders, a public advocacy group, and went to work trying to get Muni to extend the transfer window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this week, she succeeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
