Recommendation from a CAC Committee
Operations & Customer Service Committee (OCSC) (Discussion/Action)

Metro service – Motion 012306.02

WHEREAS the OCSC has met with street operations and central control personnel to try to determine why the Metro system doesn’t work for the customers and everyone at Muni seems to be doing the job they have been assigned to do, still the train headways seldom are within range of the published headways. This is bad news for the customers and probably a big reason that Muni is not attracting new riders.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the OCSC urges Muni to study Metro operations to determine how best to run the Metro lines efficiently. Here are some of the suggestions we have proposed in the past that we request you consider for more efficient Metro operations:

¨ Treat outbound L’s, K’s, and M’s as interchangeable lines such that the appropriate order and balance in service is maintained at all times.

¨ Assign a line Manager or Inspector who would be responsible for each route. Managers and Inspectors should be trained to understand the general strategy for each route such that there are few contradictions between inspectors at different points in the route. “Next Bus” should be used to assist in making necessary adjustments.

¨ Metro should have signal priority at every crossing in as many sections of each line as possible. Where possible, delete 4 way stop signs and replace with signals. The remaining stop signs on Muni routes should be coordinated with passenger stops and only be provided for pedestrian safety and convenience. Investigate the possibility of relocating the stop to combine the passenger stop near the safety stop.

¨ Provide ticket vending machines to speed up loading at busy stops.

¨ Provide more signs to encourage passengers with tickets to use all doors.
