[97] The first car was delivered from the Siemens plant in Sacramento to San Francisco on January 13, 2017. The Metro service was implemented in phases, and the subway was served only on weekdays until 1982. The $1.6bn development forms part of the second phase of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s (SFMTA) Third Street Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project. [78] The purchase price for each car was US$333,000 (equivalent to $1,305,326 in 2019). Common occurrences included sending trains down the wrong tracks, and, more often, inappropriately applying emergency braking. [70][87] The fleet had 151 LRVs in 2014, all made by Breda. "The Last Streetcar On Top of Market". [54], The Muni Metro system consists of 71.5 miles (115.1 km) of standard gauge track, seven light rail lines (six regular lines and one peak-hour line), three tunnels, nine subway stations, 24 surface stations, and 87 surface stops.[55]. 4 to SFMTA Contract No. [56] The tunnels, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) in total length,[6] run from West Portal Station in the southwestern part of the city to Embarcadero Station in the heart of the Financial District. [41][42] During this brief time, routes were reconfigured to improve reliability in the subway: Advocates with local nonprofit Senior and Disability Action criticized this route configuration, expressing concern over the need to transfer at West Portal and Church stations. The Central Subway is an extension of the Muni Metro light rail system under construction in San Francisco, California, from the Caltrain commuter rail depot at 4th and King streets to Chinatown, with stops in South of Market (SoMa) and Union Square. [98], The first 68 cars were used to expand the Muni fleet to 219 cars and once the fleet reached that total in October 2019, Breda cars would be retired as new Siemens cars are accepted. Original plans for the BART system drawn up in the 1950s envisioned a double-decked subway tunnel under Market Street (known as the Market Street subway) in downtown San Francisco; the lower deck would be dedicated to express trains, while the upper would be served by local trains whose routes would spread south and west through the city. The first street railroad in San Francisco was the San Francisco Market Street Railroad Company, which was incorporated in 1857 and began operating in 1860, with track along Market Street from California to Mission Dolores. The Breda cars, however, came in noisy, overweight, oversized, under-braked, and over-budget (their price grew from US$2.2 million per car to nearly US$3 million over the course of their production). [87], By 2011, the fleet of Breda LRVs was only able to manage a mean distance between failures (MDBF) of 617 mi (993 km). (The J line also saw an extension there in 1991, which provided yet another BART connection at Glen Park. [21][22] Finally, on November 20, 1982, the Muni Metro subway began operating seven days a week.[22]. Limited weekend T line service began on January 13, 2007, while full service began on April 7, 2007. [1] Three stations—West Portal, Forest Hill and the now-defunct Eureka Valley—were opened in 1918 as part of the Twin Peaks Tunnel,[57] while the other seven—Castro Street, Church Street, Van Ness, Civic Center, Powell Street, Montgomery Street and Embarcadero—were opened in 1980 as part of the Market Street subway. To participate in the program, a qualified senior must have or obtain a Clipper card and submit an application either online or by mail. [20] Meanwhile, weekend service on all five lines (J, K, L, M, N) continued to use PCC cars operating on the surface of Market Street through to the Transbay Terminal, and the Muni Metro was closed on weekends. [78][79] Boeing had no experience in making LRVs,[78] and has not made another since. (09-08) 11:20 PDT SAN FRANCISCO-- A 71-year-old man was seriously injured after he was hit by a Muni light-rail train early Monday in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, authorities said.. [95], Siemens has named the new Muni cars the S200 SF, while the SFMTA refers to them as the LRV4. Hence, a fleet of new light rail vehicles was ordered from Boeing-Vertol, but were not delivered until 1979–80, even though the tunnel was completed in 1978. [10] The first streetcar line, the A Geary, ran from Kearny and Market Streets in the Financial District to Fulton Street and 10th Avenue in the Richmond District. Like Muni buses, the Muni Metro operates on a proof-of-payment system;[102] on paying a fare, the passenger will receive a ticket good for travel on any bus, historic streetcar, or Metro vehicle for 120 minutes. [103] Payment methods depend on boarding location. Repairing defects in the mechanical, electrical, electronic or pneumatic systems. They were the most expensive street railway vehicles built to-date, at a cost of US$2,000,000 (equivalent to $3,260,344 in 2019) each, and they were assembled at Pier 80. Woah! They operate at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). In 2007, the T Third Street, running south from Caltrain Depot along Third Street to the southern edge of the city, opened as part of the Third Street Light Rail Project. Clipper and MuniMobile fares are lower than cash fares. The SFMTA is going to be significantly altering how trains run through the Muni Metro tunnels from West Portal through downtown San Francisco when … Current Muni metro service has expanded along the waterfront south of the Embarcadero and onto Third Street where it now terminates at the city line. [69] They are expected to have the same coupling device as the Breda cars, however, the new Siemens trains can couple up to five cars at a time. These support shops repair and overhaul components that have been removed from the vehicles and fabricate new components when necessary. [92] The US$648,000,000 (equivalent to $699,829,069 in 2019) contract for 175 cars (the first two phases) was signed by Mayor Ed Lee in September 2014, making the cost of each car approximately US$3,700,000 (equivalent to $3,995,938 in 2019). [84] Faulty couplers on the Breda cars have been blamed for reduced train capacity, as multiple cars are not able to be coupled together as intended. One of the easiest and most convenient methods to travel throughout San Francisco is by riding Muni Metro, the electric light rail train that runs throughout the city. [49] The Central Subway is projected to be complete and ready for revenue service in late 2021 at a projected cost of $1.578 billion. [33], After initial problems with the ATC were fixed, substantial upgrades to the entire Muni transit systems have gone a long way towards resolving persistent crowding and scheduling issues. [48] Muni estimates that the Central Subway section of the T Third line will carry roughly 35,100 riders per day by 2030. [14] The last line to start service before 2007 was the N Judah, which started service after the Sunset Tunnel opened in 1928.[15]. The support shops provide support to the rubber tire fleet, cable car infrastructure as well as light rail vehicles and historic vehicles. The line initially ran from the southern terminus at Bayshore Boulevard and Sunnydale Street to Castro Street Station in the north. Two-car N Judah trains and one-car J Church trains (each 10TPH) combined at the Duboce Portal, while two-car L Taraval trains (10TPH) alternately combined with two-car M Ocean View and K Ingleside (each 5 TPH) trains at West Portal to form four-car trains. [79] Residents along streetcar lines complained the new Breda cars would screech during acceleration and deceleration and their 80,000-pound (36,000 kg) weight, 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) heavier than the Boeing cars,[85] was blamed for vibration issues. The Muni Metro is a streetcar-like network which runs underground in the city centre with 8 underground stations. [28] The Breda trains were so noisy that San Francisco budgeted over $15 million to quiet them down, while estimates range up to $1 million per car to remedy the excessive noise. All cars are also equipped with Clipper card readers near each entrance, which riders may use to tag their cards to pay their fare. There are two end-to-end alternatives for the San Francisco to San José Project Section, Alternatives A and B. streetcars get a new maintenance yard", "U.S. Urban Rail Transit Lines Opened From 1980: Appendix", Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Extension of Historic Streetcar Service from Fisherman's Wharf to the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and Golden Gate National Recreation Area's Fort Mason Center, "Requesting authorization for the Director of Transportation to execute a Closeout and Settlement Agreement with AnsaldoBreda SpA for Contract No. Since March 2020, buses have substituted for all Muni Metro lines, and rail service is planned to return gradually starting on December 19, with some lines not returning until mid-2021. The state hopes one day to run a line from San Diego all the way to Sacramento, but the present construction focuses only on “phase one” of the plan, connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles. [96], Muni Metro runs from approximately 5 am to 1 am weekdays, with later start times of 7 am on Saturday and 8 am on Sunday. With an average weekday ridership of 157,700 passengers as of the fourth quarter of 2019, Muni Metro is the United States' second busiest light rail system. In addition, several surface street stops are also handicap-accessible, often consisting of a ramp leading up to a small platform for boarding.

[69] The expected maximum capacity is 203 passengers per car. [102] Muni's fare inspectors may board trains at any time to check for proof of payment from passengers.[102]. A recent article by Chelsea Iversen provides a historical overview of public transit in San Francisco with an emphasis on how light-rail service was first established in the city and has changed during the past 150+ years. [23], In the mid- to late-1990s, San Francisco grew more prosperous and its population expanded with the advent of the dot-com boom, and the Metro system began to feel the strain of increased commuter demand. [21] However, tracks were rehabilitated for the 1983 Historic Trolley Festival,[22] and the inauguration of the F line, served by heritage streetcars, followed in 1995. San Francisco’s Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has awarded Siemens a contract to deliver an initial 175 light rail cars for its Muni transit [16] However, five heavily used streetcar lines traveled for at least part of their routes through tunnels or otherwise reserved right-of-way, and thus could not be converted to bus lines. This ATO system was upgraded in 2015 to replace outdated software and relays. Officials in San Francisco announced that Muni's light rail system would remain shut down through the end of the year after abruptly closing last week due to a COVID-19 illness and mechanical issues. Muni Metro has two rail yards for storage and maintenance: The Rail Vehicle Maintenance group is responsible for providing clean, safe and reliable rail vehicles in sufficient numbers to provide scheduled service levels to the riding public of San Francisco on a daily basis. Soiffer, Bill (September 20, 1982). The backbone of the system is formed by two interconnected subway tunnels, the older Twin Peaks Tunnel and the newer Market Street subway, both controlled by automatic train operation systems to run trains with the operators closing the door to allow the train to pull out of a station. Muni Metro is the modern incarnation of the traditional streetcar system that had served San Francisco since the late 19th century. [1] Two stations, Stonestown and San Francisco State University are located at the southwestern part of the city, while the rest are located on the eastern side of the city, where the system underwent recent expansion as part of the Embarcadero extension and the Third Street Light Rail Project. [69] The S200 SF is 75 feet (23 m) long, 8 feet 8.32 inches (2.65 m) wide, 11 feet 6 inches (3.51 m) high (with the pantograph locked down), and weighs 78,770 pounds (35,730 kg), making it comparable in size and weight to the existing Breda cars. [11][12] The system slowly expanded, opening the Twin Peaks Tunnel in 1917,[13] allowing streetcars to run to the southwestern quadrant of the city. All subway and surface stations are wheelchair-accessible. Muni Metro has two rail yards for storage and maintenance: Muni Metro first operated Boeing Vertol-made US Standard Light Rail Vehicles (USSLRV), which were built for Muni Metro and Boston's MBTA. [79][80], In 1982, the Boeing cars averaged only 600 miles (970 km) between breakdowns; by 1988 this had improved to 1,800 to 2,000 miles (2,900 to 3,200 km) between breakdowns. The Muni Metro is a light rail system serving San Francisco, California, United States, operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni), a division of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). S Shuttle service was increased, running with the TM and N in the subway. While many streetcar lines in other cities, and even in San Francisco itself, were converted to buses after World War II, five lines survived until the early 1980s, when they were rerouted into the newly built Market Street subway. We work safely and efficiently to provide direct on-vehicle maintenance including: In addition to direct vehicle maintenance the Rail Vehicle Maintenance group maintains a full-service Machine Shop with two satellite locations, Electric Motor Shop, Sheet Metal Shop, Electronic Shop and HVAC repair shop. Rail Vehicle Maintenance is responsible for maintaining 151 Breda light rail vehicles, 52 historic rail vehicles and 40 cable cars (28 Powell Line cars and 12 California Line cars). [90][91], With the Breda' cars growing increasingly unreliable, and the system growing with the construction of the Central Subway, Muni requested bids for a new generation of light rail vehicles. [79] The first cars of the initial 100-car order arrived in San Francisco in 1978; Boston had been running the cars since 1976 and by 1978, MBTA was already returning 35 cars for manufacturing defects. [38], On March 30, 2020, Muni Metro service was replaced with buses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[39]. [78] By 1998, the 136-car Muni Metro fleet consisted of 57 Boeing Vertol cars and 79 Breda cars.

At the end of the service day September 19, 1982, streetcar operations on the surface of Market Street were discontinued entirely, the remaining PCC cars taken out of service, and weekend service on the five light rail lines was temporarily converted to buses. Three lines—the K Ingleside, the L Taraval, and the M Ocean View—feed into the tunnel at West Portal, while two lines, the J Church and N Judah, enter at a portal near Church Street and Duboce Avenue in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood. View daily BART updates related to coronavirus. Siemens' S200 SF Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) is a sleek and lightweight train being manufactured to ply on the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's (SFMTA) Muni Metro, the third-busiest light rail system in the US. [24], Muni did take steps to address these problems. San Franciscans waiting for the return of Muni Metro are going to be waiting a while longer. Trolleybuses, buses, cable cars, streetcars, subways, and light rail!!! At the end of the service day on Sunday, September 19, 1982, streetcar service on the surface of Market Street was discontinued entirely, the remaining PCC cars taken out of service, and weekend service on the five light rail lines was temporarily converted to buses. The S200 light rail trains for San Francisco are based on Siemens' proven S70 model, of which more than 1,300 are currently operating in North America and other regios. [102] Subway stations have controlled entries via faregates, and passengers usually purchase or show Muni staff a ticket in order to enter the platform area. Along Market Street, the tunnel is shared by the Muni Metro (upper level) and BART (lower level). [99][93], It is expected that deliveries of cars will continue through 2028. [45], As of December 2020[update], the surface-only J Church route is expected to resume service on December 19, followed by the Embarcadero–Sunnyvale portion of the T Third Street on January 23.

Enrollment is not automatic. Muni criticism had been something of a feature of life in San Francisco, and not without reason. [80] Despite the shortcomings of the USSLRV design, these cars constituted the entire light rail fleet until 1996, when new Breda-manufactured cars were put into service,[81] replacing Boeing cars as they were accepted for service.
