""Sales tax did perform better than the city or better than it had before," said Michael Rhodes, highlighting the economic benefits of transit-only lanes."
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency plans to convert two lanes on Ocean Avenue to transit-only lanes to improve Muni train and bus services. Local business owners express concerns that this will deter drivers and reduce customer traffic, potentially harming their businesses.

MTA's transit priority manager referenced positive economic impacts from similar projects in other areas, suggesting that sales tax revenue improved post-implementation of transit-only lanes.
