Exploring the new SFMTA Central Subway 

Not sure if this was intentional, but you went from the oldest Muni subway station (Forest Hill/Laguna Honda, opened in 1918) to the brand new stations that opened over a century later. Now let's get that North Beach station opened! We already built the damn tunnel.

Well done! Muni has done a fantastic job with the transfers by the looks of the video

Thanks for this video, any improvement in municipal infrastructure, specifically transit systems, is a step in the right direction.

so true

You certainly move fast. It is informative

Where are all the people??

Looks more like a light rail streetcar hybrid than a subway

HOLY FAK 1.9B FOR A MILE + SOME RUN OFF!

The Central Subway looks nice. Getting Caltrain commuters to downtown in minutes is definitely the biggest benefit from it. I do think that the Central Subway should have turned west after Market St along Geary instead of heading to Chinatown. Even if it gets to North Beach, it still will not serve as much of a reliever for the 30 Stockton bus until it gets to the Marina. Frankly, I don't think the Chinatown station will see much ridership. Most tourists will probably get there by walking (2000' from Union Sq to Chinatown) since there is much to see and do along the way. I do understand that the decision was mostly political to appease Chinatown businesses worried about losing the Embarcadero Freeway. However, MUNI built the Central Subway platforms to accommodate 2-car trains ONLY. Therefore, according to MUNI, service past Fisherman's Wharf would be impossible without lengthening all of the platforms to accommodate 4-car trains and passenger volume from the Marina/Union St/Cow Hollow (lengthening AFTER they're built, instead of future proofing, is exponentially more expensive but apparently money is no object). So, with this in mind, I doubt service to the Marina will happen in many of our lifetimes, leaving a subway that handles only a moderate amount of passengers at incredible expense. All of which is why I would have preferred that the Central Subway turned west along Geary to the Outer Richmond/ 19th Ave corridor. The Geary corridor is the busiest and most crowded bus corridor, busier than the 30-Stockton corridor, and w a much longer commute time to get downtown. It would serve a much larger and more populous area of the city and one that has been historically underserved. But as it is, getting downtown for T riders is much faster, as well as Caltrain commuters. Geary is getting BRT Lite which is better than nothing but not as good as Van Ness BRT.

It is interesting to publsh a video about a new subway line without mentioning in one single word in which city it is. The signs show English place names. The line map shown briefly in the video and the city map suggest that it is San Francisco.

Union Square Market Street station is unnecessarily too big dawg

what's the point of rushing through like this you do not need to speed up your footage of the stations, since it conveys the main information about the system, how well made or otherwise it is... &, you get more watch time (more revenue if you are already monetized)... so, pluses for everyone! (anyone who disagrees, please reply with an explanation if you have the time, I am genuinely curious) PS: I know you can slow down the footage, but it ruins the quality of the footage anyway... edit: formatting for easier viewing

How about they make a extension to sf airport
