As some of you may know, we are running a METRO SURVEY these next two weeks to see how the streetcars are running post-ATCS. If you are a member of Rescue Muni, you will get a copy of the survey form with your TRANSFER - but if not, you can take the survey by following these simple instructions. Please participate - and ask your friends to as well!
Thanks,

Fall 1998 Muni Metro Survey
Is Muni Metro getting better or worse? The press and RESCUE MUNI¹s web site have been full of anecdotal analysis of this question in recent weeks - most highly unfavorable to the ³new² Muni Metro and Muni¹s $70 million Advanced Train Control System. We¹ve heard literally hundreds of tales of severe delays and system breakdowns, and Muni officials have admitted that the system has yet to live up to its promise.
But anecdotes are one thing; hard facts are another. You can help us assess exactly how Muni Metro is doing this fall, by participating in our extraordinary Muni Metro Survey. It¹s designed just like our annual Riders¹ Survey (with a few extra questions), so you will only need to record your actual experience and we¹ll do the rest.
Enclosed in your Transfer this month is a survey form. Between September 20 and October 3, just record for every streetcar (F, J, K, L, M, N) ride you take:
… route
… date
… time you arrived at your stop
… time the car/train arrived
… your destination
… time you arrived there
… how crowded the car was (on a 1-5 scale)
Submit your results at our web site or by mail; we will compile the data and publish our results as soon as possible after the survey is complete. Your help crunching numbers would also be greatly appreciated. Of course, you should feel free to distribute this form as widely as possible.
Bus riders: Don¹t feel left out! If you ride Muni Metro at all during these two weeks, please answer the survey. If not, give it to a friend who does - and please make sure to answer our Bus Survey, also in this month's TRANSFER, about how traffic and other conditions affect your ride.
