Muni sickout, Day 2: Service adjustments
The great Muni sickout of 2014 is in its second day now. SFMTA issued the following adjustments they’re making in light of that:
BART is accepting customers with a valid Muni proof of payment between Daly City and Embarcadero stations. Muni customers are advised to go to the BART Station Agent gate to request entrance to the BART system rather than tagging their Clipper card.
Muni Service
All routes and lines continue to experience missed and delayed service. Even with 100 additional vehicles on the street today, significant delays will remain. Customers should expect crowding and waits of up to 60 minutes. Some routes may be turned back mid route to help minimize crowding. Announcements will be made via NextBus, on vehicles or in Metro stations.Muni Metro (J Church, K Ingleside, L Taraval, M Ocean View, N Judah, T Third)
All Muni Metro rail lines will operate on their regular routes and continue to operate with two-car trains to maximize capacity.

Biking or Walking
In addition to transit, carpooling and parking, the SFMTA recommends that commuters consider bicycling and walking when these options are viable. If you plan to use a bicycle for your commute, a map of bicycle routes is available on sfmta.com.Parking

If you’ve got any other tips up your sleeve, feel free to share.
If you’re upset about this, perhaps you’ll join my cause. Well, it’s really just a t-shirt. But the point is that the people voted. We passed Prop G. Muni employees are well-paid, and the service they provide is unreliable and often unenjoyable. There’s nothing left to do, but rise up and stab them with our plastic forks: http://munifml.com/
