29 Sunset Improvement Project Relaunched

29 Sunset Improvement Project Relaunched By Shalon Rogers Improvements are on the horizon for one of the longest bus routes in the Muni system. As part of the 29 Sunset Improvement Project , the SFMTA is conducting a survey to gather feedback and ideas on how to improve the 29 Sunset.  At the beginning of 2020, the SFMTA’s 29 Sunset Improvement Project was ready to kick-off a year-long outreach program.

Then and Now: Keeping the Cable Cars on the Move

Then and Now: Keeping the Cable Cars on the Move By Jeremy Menzies When Andrew Hallidie’s first cable car climbed Nob Hill on Clay Street in August 1873, the cars were a brand-new technology to replace the horse-drawn streetcars used at the time. Little did he know that 148 years later, cable cars would still be scaling the steep slopes of Nob Hill. Many of the methods used to maintain and operate the cars to this day harken back to the golden era of cable cars in the late 1800s. As we ramp up for the return of revenue service on San Francisco’s beloved cable cars, check out the images below for a look at just some of the behind-the-scenes work keeping the system running, both then and now. Keeping up the Cars Maintaining the cars on a regular basis is vital to keeping them safe, operable and looking good for the tens of thousands of people who ride them.
