- khuey 14y agoDistance. The surface streets (and entering/exiting the Market Street subway) are the slow parts.
- deepster 14y agoI live on the N line and it makes 5 stops in a 7 block stretch near my house. It's insanely slow and frustrating. Muni needs to reduce the number of stops a bus/train makes.
- geebee 14y agoI agree, though I'm not sure if this is a possibility with a single set of tracks. Aside from bart or muni in the tunnel, I found the fastest public transportation in SF was the various limited or express buses that go from the richmond to downtown. They make very few stops and move quickly. The thing is, the express buses can easily pass the slower regular bus that make every stop. That wouldn't be possible with the streetcars, which I think would have to be all or nothing.
