Someone was just telling me this didn't happen so here's a reminder that in 2021, an unusually candid SFMTA admitted the reason they decided to scrap bus lanes for the 24 Divisadero was to preserve parking.
#TransitFirst charter vs #TransitLast reality.

This bus stop is just about invisible.
-No flag sign
-No paint on pole
-Inexplicably 30ft back from the corner
-If a car was parked here, which for now is still legal, I wouldn’t have been able to see the pavement marking from the sidewalk
54 @ Felton/Madison. #SFMTA #SFMuni #TransitLast
I would sit at this bench but how is the bus driver supposed to see me?
So now I'm standing in the street - in more danger than if the stop was at the corner with no bench or structure.
There's 2 of us waiting for just this bus - but the two drivers who parked here however long ago get the priority over all the transit riders.
