Castro District residents are weighing in on the SFMTA staff proposal to raise the F-line fare to six dollars, a 300% increase in one fell swoop (not to be confused with Fell Street).

Opposition Streams In to Higher F-line Fare
$6 F-Line Fare an Option in New SFMTA Budget
Despite strong and successful opposition the first time they tried it four years ago, the budget crafters at SFMTA, Muni’s parent agency, are back with proposals to uncouple the F-line fare from the basic Muni fare and raise it between 50% and 300%.

F-line Buses All This Weekend
The F-line will be served by buses rather than streetcars both Saturday and Sunday, January 18-19.
F-line Switch Removal Saturday; Buses Substitute
There will be no streetcar service on the F-Market & Wharves line all day Saturday, January 11. Sewer work is taking place on Market between Fremont and Third; crews are taking the opportunity to remove the disused track switch at First Street that used to connect to the now-demolished Transbay Terminal. Motor coaches will substitute for the streetcars, with Wharf-bound buses detouring via Second, Mission, and Fremont Streets to go around the work site.
No Way to Start Its Centennial Year!
