Getting around on Muni might feel overwhelming if you aren’t used to it. So we’re giving you a practical guide for using the system in “How to Muni,” the latest episode of our podcast Taken with Transportation. Whether you've just moved to San Francisco, are planning to visit or simply haven't taken advantage of all Muni has to offer, this is the episode for you. 

“How to Muni” covers paying fares, safety and security and being a good passenger. “There’s a lot to be said for someone that just is polite to other people and so on and so forth, right?” Castro Street Station Agent Rigo Ortega tells Host Melissa Culross. “The Golden Rule applies. As long as everyone can just leave each other alone and get to and from in the safest way possible, we’re having a great day.”

38 Geary Operator Arnold Gray has some easy advice for making sure you’re on the right bus or line. “Don’t be afraid to ask an operator where they go. If they go to the place you’re wanting to go,” Gray says. “We tend to not know addresses, but if you can [tell us] the street you’re trying to be on and the nearest cross street, that’s very helpful.” 

SFMTA Senior Manager of Revenue Collection and Sales Diana Hammons, Operator Lynnette Richie and Deputy Chief Security Officer Teresa Scism also are featured in the episode. Plus, a couple of regular riders discuss their early days taking Muni. You can find “How to Muni” and all the episodes of Taken with Transportation on our podcast page (SFMTA.com/Podcast) and on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen.

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone By Mariana Maguire New Muni “no harassment” symbol The safety of our customers and staff is a top priority for the SFMTA. That is why we are launching MuniSafe – a campaign to increase reporting of gender-based harassment through recently expanded incident reporting options. If you experience or witness an incident, help us make MuniSafe by reporting it using the Muni Feedback form at SFMTA.com/MuniFeedback, the 311 mobile app or by calling 311. Non-English speakers should call 311 for language-assisted reporting. Gender-based harassment takes many forms, affects many people and is absolutely not tolerated on Muni. Survivors should report incidents to the San Francisco Police Department if they feel comfortable doing so. By also reporting incidents directly to the SFMTA, you will help us track events that occur in our system so we can build better safety responses and direct resources to reduce gender-based harassment.
