I rode the ecar, which was a streetcar the size of the cable care. Im a native and i ride the no. 3. I ride the no. 3 from one terminus to the other terminus. From walnut and california to bart or muni. And the california street doesnt do that. It doesnt stop at a connection. You have to walk a couple of blocks. And during the winter, during rain, and all of that kind weather, but i have also rode the cable car when it went all the way to presidio, the california cable car. Thank you thank you sir.

To be reevaluated before implementation. There are two elements that many believe are flawed. Getting from point a to point b is the supposed time savings for the individual transit rider or for the muni vehicle . At appears that the proposal are for the vehicle to get to point a to point b at the sacrifice of the passenger to get from starting point a to their final destination point b. Elimination of stops. This means that the individual rider will have to walk a greater destination and the time it takes to walk from the discontinued stop this does not help the individual getting from point a to point b and this certainly hinders the elderly, the disabled and parents with small children by eliminating stops. One of the best features of muni it has convenient stops for its ridership, but yet, that seems to be in jeopardy. Please note it will still take the same amount of time for a passenger to board and disembark a vehicle whether its at one stop or another. So its not a major saving
