From SFTRU:
It’s finally happening! “Bus Rapid Transit” is coming to San Francisco! After many years in the making, the SF County Transportation Authority and SF Municipal Transportation Agency staff are recommending an innovative project for center-running buses on Van Ness Avenue that will speed up travel times on the 47 and 49 by as much as 33%! Come hear the details at our next “TRU Talk” on May 14th.
Mix and mingle with other SFTRU members and supporters and learn about the details of the proposed Van Ness BRT design.
