I would walk or take Muni to most placed around SF proper. In most cities, you have to drive to go to the nearest restaurant, bar or store.

So then why is Muni Metro's ridership only 47% (Q3 2023 vs. Q3 2019) of what it was pre-pandemic? Unlike BART, Muni Metro is an urban rail system with lots of stops serving city neighborhoods. And most of those neighborhoods are, by density and built form, friendlier to cars. Muni bus, the main mode of public transport, is at 71% compared to the same period.
You can see where I'm going with this.
So, again, how are people getting around the city?
