Transit supporters and representatives from over 60 organizations from across the city will gather tomorrow to discuss Muni's future, and try to identify solutions and strategies to improve the city's transit system and help it survive the current budget crisis.

The idea, two of its organizers wrote in Beyond Chron this morning, is "to foster a community-based discussion of Muni's worsening problems," and start a "citywide movement required to address and resolve San Francisco's critical public transit needs."

With a 10 percent cut to Muni service approved last Friday, and even larger budget deficits looming for the next two fiscal years, the summit is certainly timely.
