San Franciscans united against SFMTA The citizens of San Francisco have been fighting the SFMTA for a couple of years, one neighborhood at a time, and we have accomplished a lot. Some of the reasons why we are doing so well are:  We are united  We represent a broad base of interests  We are determined and not backing down  We are informed and involved in spreading information  We have the media’s attention  We have the Supervisor’s attention Stop SFMTA, sfenuf.org,
