The Golden Gate Park Shuttle: Back and Better than Ever!

The Golden Gate Park Shuttle: Back and Better than Ever!
By Eillie Anzilotti

The Golden Gate Park shuttle is shown with the ferris wheel in the background. The sky is bright blue and cloudless.

Over the months of outreach that the SFMTA and our colleagues at the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department conducted for the Golden Gate Park Access & Safety Program, we heard a lot of feedback on the park shuttle. Specifically, that it needed some TLC.

Now, the Golden Gate Park free shuttle is getting the major overhaul it deserves. This past weekend, Rec & Park and the SFMTA began rolling out some key improvements to the shuttle—starting with expanded service, a longer and more connected route, more stops, and shorter wait times. These upgrades were informed by feedback from the numerous older and senior residents and members of the disability community, and will create a more accessible, reliable, and enjoyable experience of Golden Gate Park and its cultural institutions.

Here are some more details on all the improvements:

New weekday service from noon to 6 p.m. with pickup every 20 minutes

Adding a third shuttle to existing weekend service from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with pickup every 15 minutes
Connections to the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and its cafes, shops, and bus lines, as well as the park’s renovated Stanyan Street edge.
Shuttle information that is easier to find and use online, including on navigation apps.
New stops, including:

Stow Lake Boathouse and café, with easy access to Strawberry Hill and its lakeside path, waterfall, picnic areas and Chinese Pavilion.
Haight and Stanyan streets near Whole Foods Market with connection to Muni lines 7, 33 and 66.
10th Avenue/de Young Museum stop a short distance from the 5-Fulton and closer to the museum’s entrance than ever before.

Before, the shuttle only ran on weekends—and only along JFK drive. Now, we’re taking steps to integrate the shuttle into the rest of our Muni network and transportation system—in addition to all the improvements above, you’ll now see the shuttle appear on all Muni maps.

More good news: the recent upgrades are just the first step toward improving the Golden Gate Park Shuttle. More stops, new seating, better signage, and bus shelters are on the horizon—and we’re looking forward to welcoming you on the new and improved shuttle!

New top story from Time: With Daily Infections Hitting a Record-High, Critics Say the U.K. Hasn’t Learned From Its Mistakes

https://ift.tt/3cv6m5i LONDON — Britain bungled its response to the coronavirus the first time around. Now many scientists fear it’s about to do it again. The virus is on the rise once more in the U.K., which has recorded almost 42,000 COVID-19 deaths, with confirmed daily infections hitting a record-high 6,634 on Thursday, though deaths remain far below their April peak. The surge has brought new restrictions on daily life, the prospect of a grim winter of mounting deaths — and a feeling of deja vu. “We didn’t react quick enough in March,” epidemiologist John Edmunds, a member of the government’s scientific advisory committee, told the BBC. “I think we haven’t learnt from our mistake back then and we’re, unfortunately, about to repeat it.” The U.K. is not alone in seeing a second wave of COVID-19. European countries including France, Spain and the Netherlands are struggling to suppress rising outbreaks while limiting the economic damage . But Britain’s pandemic respo...
