Almost 100% of San Franciscans have access to Muni service within two or three blocks of their home or work.

The results of the 2022 Muni Rider Survey indicate that our continuing efforts to deliver fast, reliable and frequent service are benefiting riders and they appreciate it. Over half of respondents, 66%, rate Muni service as “good” or “excellent” – a 9% increase from 2021 and the strongest increase since 2018.

Since 2021, riders’ ratings of individual attributes of Muni have generally increased or stayed the same: The greatest increases were:

Trips take a reasonable amount of time (65% in 2022 vs. 57% in 2021)
Frequency of service (51% in 2022 vs. 45% in 2021)
Reliability/On-time performance (47% in 2022 vs. 42% in 2021).

We expect that some of these improvements have to do with the fact that since the last survey in 2021, we restored the Muni network so that almost 100% of San Franciscans have access to Muni service within two or three blocks of their home or work. Between July 2021 and June 2022 alone, we restored 20 Muni lines and extended 8 others.

Our ongoing investments in reliability improvements such as transit lanes, bus bulbs and smart traffic signals have also paid off. During the pandemic, we implemented over 21 miles of new transit lanes, bringing our transit lane network to more than 70 miles! With this expansion, Muni is quicker and more reliable than is has been in decades. For example: 

14/14R Mission downtown travel times are up to 31% quicker 
38 Geary travel times are up to 20% quicker

49 Van Ness/Mission travel times are up to 35% quicker, and with the completion of the Van Ness BRT, ridership was up 13% and continues to see growth
The Temporary Emergency Transit Lane program improved reliability on lines serving 40% of all Muni riders.

We also reduced major delays on the Muni Metro by 81% since the Metro reopened in May 2021 through a new subway maintenance initiative called Fix It! Week.

Improvements to the customer experience can be seen through the ongoing implementation of our new Next Generation Customer Information System. The new system-wide Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) signs displaying real-time information at all transit shelters offer:

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant text-to-speech capability 
Larger and clearer text 
Ability to offer enhanced multilingual and accessible content to promote inclusivity 
Increased real-time communication for arrival predictions and occupancy levels

Low-income riders continue to rate Muni service higher than prior to the pandemic indicating our data-driven equity delivery continues to be aligned with public needs:

Riders in the < $25,000 income category rate Muni service as “excellent/good:” 73% up 10% vs. 2021.
Riders in the $25,000-$50,000 income category rate Muni service as “excellent/good:” 80% up 6% vs. 2021.

In 2022, nearly two-thirds (64%) of riders said they rode Muni at least once a week. This has increased since 2021 when just over half (52%) said they rode once a week but remains lower than 2019 when nearly three-quarters (72%) of riders rode at least once a week.

81% rate Muni’s accessibility for people with disabilities as “excellent” or “good” – an increase of 2% from 2021 – which continues to be Muni’s best rated attribute by respondents.

Nearly three-quarters (73%) of riders rated transit operator helpfulness as “excellent” or “good” – up 3% since the last survey; our front-line operators continue to be our most valuable employees for their ongoing service delivery.

How We Gather Results
The 2022 survey project used a hybrid approach, blending both telephone interviews and online surveys to collect feedback from adult San Francisco residents. A total of 533 interviews were conducted during the period of August 4 to October 23, 2022. This survey was established to track the level of satisfaction that Muni riders have with our service. This tool allows us to track our progress and measure the impacts of changes that have been implemented to improve service.

New top story from Time: ‘Medical Populism’ Has Defined the Philippines’ Response to COVID-19. That’s Why the Country Is Still Suffering

https://ift.tt/2SwLHIx Nurse Delta Santiago (not her real name) has reached the top of her field. She works at one of the Philippines’ top hospitals, frequented by billionaires and celebrities. But the 32-year-old can’t wait to leave. Santiago makes just $520 a month working 12-hour days and she’s desperate to land a job overseas. Because of the pandemic, the authorities have imposed restrictions on public transport, and Santiago’s 15-mile (24-kilometer) commute to work in the center of the capital Manila is a time-consuming ordeal. She wants to rent a room closer to her workplace, to cut down on the exhausting traveling, and to avoid the risk of bringing COVID-19 home to her family, but she can’t afford to. So, for the past eight months, she has been sleeping in a utility room at the hospital, just steps away from the plush, private medical suites where high-paying patients recline in relative comfort.

New top story from Time: No, the Vikings Did Not Discover America. Here’s Why That Myth is Problematic

https://ift.tt/3h1mI9B Who discovered America? The common-sense answer is that the continent was discovered by the remote ancestors of today’s Native Americans. Americans of European descent have traditionally phrased the question in terms of identifying the first Europeans to have crossed the Atlantic and visited what is now the United States. But who those Europeans were is not such a simple question—and, since the earliest days of American nationhood, its answer has been repeatedly used and misused for political purposes . Everybody, it seems, wants a piece of the discovery. The Irish claim centers on St Brendan, who in the sixth century is said to have sailed to America in his coracle. The Welsh claimant is Madog ab Owain Gwynedd, who is said to have landed in Mobile, Ala., in 1170. The Scottish claimant is Henry Sinclair, earl of Orkney, who is said to have reached Westford, Mass., in 1398. The English have never claimed first contact, but in the English colonies John Ca...

New top story from Time: Trump Is Gone, But He’s Still Energizing The Resistance

https://ift.tt/3czAuOs This article is part of the The DC Brief, TIME’s politics newsletter. Sign up here to get stories like this sent to your inbox every weekday. Julia Larkin stood under the glass roof of the Javits Center well into the morning. As a Brooklyn Democrat, she had high expectations for what Election Day 2016 would bring for Hillary Clinton. But as evening turned into night and into sunrise, Larkin started to ask the question so many Clinton supporters did that day. “How the hell could Donald Trump win this?” Larkin recalls thinking. Well, it turned out, Trump could. It was close and came down to narrow margins in three Midwest states. But math is math, and it’s a stubborn thing. Rather than slink bank into the wings, Larkin and hundreds of thousands of activists like her shifted their roles. What emerged from the rage, tears and profanity of Clinton’s loss became collectively known as The Resistance , and it reshaped politics for the four years Trump u...

New top story from Time: A Conversation with Filmmaker Adam Curtis on Power, Technology and How Ideas Get Into People’s Heads

https://ift.tt/2NQRzcY The British filmmaker Adam Curtis may work for the BBC, a bastion of the British elite, but over a decades-long career, he has cemented himself as a cult favorite. He is best known as the pioneer of a radical and unique style of filmmaking, combining reels of unseen archive footage, evocative music, and winding narratives to tell sweeping stories of 20th and 21st century history that challenge the conventional wisdom. “I’ve never thought of myself as a documentary maker,” he says. “I’m a journalist.” On Feb. 11, Curtis dropped his latest epic: Can’t Get You Out of My Head , an eight hour history of individualism, split up over six episodes. Subtitled “An emotional history of the modern world,” the goal of the series, Curtis says, was to unpack how we came to live in a society designed around the individual, but where people increasingly feel anxious and uncertain. It’s a big question, and Curtis attempts to answer it by taking us on a winding journ...

New top story from Time: What to Know About COVID-19 Vaccines and Heart Conditions in Younger People

https://ift.tt/3xSoBLv On June 23, a group of scientists told the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices that mRNA vaccines (those made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) have a “likely association” with heart risks for younger people. Understandably, that’s still generating a lot of attention. Here’s what you should know about COVID-19 vaccines and heart problems. The heart issues in question are called myocarditis and pericarditis Those refer, respectively, to inflammation of the heart and the lining around it. While they sound scary, both tend to clear up on their own or with minimal treatment, particularly if caught early. They can come with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue and abnormal heart rhythms, and can be caused by viruses and bacteria. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] They are a very rare vaccine side effect Since April, about 1,000 cases have been reported among people who got vaccin...

New top story from Time: As the U.S. Moves Toward Post-Pandemic Life, COVID-19 Is Still Devastating the World—Especially India

https://ift.tt/3dTLqY5 The pandemic won’t end for anyone until it ends for everyone. That sentiment has been repeated so many times, by so many people, it’s easy to forget it’s not just a cliche—particularly if you live in one of the wealthy countries, like the U.S. and Israel, that has made significant moves toward what feels like an end to the COVID-19 era. Israel, for example, has fully vaccinated more than half of its population and about 90% of its adults 50 and older are now immune to the virus—enough that the country is “busting loose” and “partying like it’s 2019,” as the Washington Post put it last week. The U.S. is a bit further behind , with nearly 30% of its population fully vaccinated, but the possibility of a post-pandemic reality is already coming into focus. While daily case counts remain high, they are far lower than they were even a few months ago—about 32,000 diagnoses were reported on April 25, compared to daily tallies well above 250,000 in January .
