With a $23 million deficit only two months into the fiscal year and on-time performance stuck at a measly 72.9 percent, San Francisco’s public transit system, Muni, is clearly in trouble. Riders bear the brunt of Muni’s woes as it tries to balance the budget.
What do San Francisco’s mayoral candidates have to say about Muni’s financial plight as well as the other problems — reliability and Muni overtime — that have been plaguing the system for years?
Public Press Muni beat reporter Jerold Chinn (@jchinn84) and photographer Steven Rhodes (@tigerbeat) are interviewing the top mayoral candidates on their plans to improve Muni’s service and fund the transit agency.
You can make the reporting possible by pitching in a few dollars or taking a short survey at Spot.Us:

You will get a chance to see and hear what the mayoral candidates’ plans are to improve Muni service and help fund the transit agency if they become mayor on Nov. 8, 2011.
Thanks for your help.
