San Francisco: May 2010 Service Cuts Mostly Restored

As I said at the time, the first round of service cuts in San Francisco implemented in 2009 actually did some good by deleting some segments that, for geometric reasons, were always going to be ineffective.  But the second round implemented in May 2010 were mostly just painful.  Now, after a long struggle, that destructive second round is being reversed, mostly on September 4 with the remainder to come in December.  I often criticize journalists for featuring bad news but missing the corresponding good news, so it’s only fair to do the same myself.

    How did SFMTA get the money to reverse the cuts?

    A complicated question, which I'll leave it to a local to answer.
