They're going to build BRT lines down Van Ness and Geary. You'll see! It'll be just like riding a train!

It's nice to see they've upgraded to MacDraw.

Hmm, I wonder how many millions of dollars it cost to produce this ridiculous MUNI map...maybe the money could be put to better use by actually fiding solutions or increasing frequency on the metro lines.

@RobinSF We absolutely could bore a subway up Van Ness. Too bad SF can't afford it, as the tax payers would never pony up the funds. Have you seen the price tag for the central subway? Could you imagine how much Van Ness would cost?! And forget about asking the Fed for money, their broke too. Something about a war over oil...

You would think that by now somebody could have figured out a way to bore a tunnel straight up Van Ness to connect this atrocity. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller??

The address was nextbus@sfmta.com, I think. Otherwise you can troll the RescueMuni archives and e-mail the NB employee who trolls the group from time to time. The new display is nice looking, but doesn't provide anywhere near as much useful information as the archaic screen shots at the other stations. As for arrival times, I suppose you could... you know... look at the other overhead signs.

Where do I comment on the Muni map? It desparately needs arrival time information, otherwise we'll have no idea how long it will take the orange dot to get to Powell station.
