Mayor Daniel Lurie revealed during a meeting that he lacks a plan to maintain Muni's financial stability, a crucial issue for San Francisco. Sup. Myrna Melgar emphasized the importance of a functional transit system for the city’s economy and expressed concerns over potential service cuts. Lurie acknowledged the difficulty in guaranteeing no cuts, citing budget deficits and state funding challenges. He suggested that future revenue measures might rely on regressive sales taxes. Ideas for alternative funding sources, such as taxing tech company buses, were not addressed by Lurie.
"We rely on Muni," she said. "It keeps the economy going."
"Nobody wants to see service cuts," he said, "but I realize that this is what Muni may have to do."
