That operator was going extremely slowly. By the book, but slowly. Never broke 18mph… often was traveling below 10mph. No amount of signals or new platforms will improve that behavior. Need to automate speeds where possible.
If you’re talking the tunnel? It’s automated probably heavy traffic, if you’re talking residential, learn speeds in a residential area even with right of way

They were supposed to replace all the stop signs with preempted traffic lights. Did I misread that (i.e., were the stop signs that were to be replaced with traffic lights actually removed)? Also the traffic lights still aren’t preempted. The whole purpose of LRT is that traffic lights at street crossings are supposed to be rigged to favor trains. Otherwise, it’s not much different from being in your own car (besides the underground sections that is). California didn’t seem to get the message because LA’s light rail system has this same problem.
@@sfmunioperations So they didn’t remove ALL of them. Ok. Still better than the amount of stop signs it had in the past. But why does California seem to not allow traffic lights to be preempted for light rail traffic? That’s supposed to be one of the main benefits of taking it over a car.
Maybe it's just me but why do the trains seem to go so slow in the tunnels I swear a couple years ago they used to be flying in the tunnels now they move the trains as if they're scared of the rails what happened?
@@YoLikeRyder Yeah I agree! I think Muni should have rearranged the stops to be every three blocks instead of every two west of Sunset-stopping at 40th Avenue, 43rd Avenue, and 46th Avenue, instead of at 40th, 42nd, 44th, and 46th. The N-Judah stops at every three blocks west of Sunset in the above layout and it works so much better in my opinion!
SF Muni... rocks!!!
thank you!
Wow. Kewell. Congrats to SF Muni!! And cool video too.
thank you!!!
Yay I can ride the train now!
yep!
So amazing it’s finally back!!!!
Excellent video my friends 😊awesome 😮Greeting 🙋
@@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg thank you!
Up until now, I didn’t even know why the L used buses instead of trains. But I’m glad the rails are finally back.
Major rebuild of both Taraval and the L line tracks.

Still no traffic light priority. That wait on sunset is ridiculous

Muni does not know how to do transit signal priority. It’s as though the technology doesn’t exist in our little town.

I see that they installed several new stoplights at different intersections that didn’t have them before on Taraval Street!

@@anthonysnyder1152 maybe since it’s the first day of them operating on Taraval they being cautious, hopefully over the days it’ll be better
The speed limit on all those roads is 20 mph pal. They have to follow the road speed limits

Muni is the slowest transit system in North America. And this video shows these capital projects aren’t making a dent.
Does the operator have a CCTV of the inside of the train, or just the exterior sides?
only exterior sides I believe since theres no actual mirrors looking back
Muni needs more transit only lanes, streetlight priority, and armed security.
no more fighting kids to get on unlike the L bus

Wait will LBUS come back if there is rail repair works/maintenance from time to time like MBUS and KBUS?

Yes, I know! My Godparents lived very close to the West Portal Station! And I saw operator honking at a car ahead of it! Not good!
Motor vehicles and trolleys a very hazardous combination. I'm surprised that the trolleys don't use their horns except only in emergencies.
