Join our Ride Along to a Giants Game with SFTR and the SF Hoo Lee Gans |
|
|
Join San Francisco Transit Riders and the SF Hoo Lee Gans for a ride along to the September 23rd Giants vs. Cardinals Game! SFTR's Outreach and Organizing Manager, Jaime, wrote more about this event in a blog you can read here: We will be partnering with the SF Hoo Lee Gans, a grass-roots fan club that grew out of their common love of SF Giants baseball and the team’s newest centerfielder — and Korean Baseball Org (KBO) League’s star — Jung Hoo Lee! Getting to a ballgame on public transportation is very convenient, efficient, and cheap! We are lucky to have the transit systems that we have to serve the ballpark; there’s nothing like it!
It is important that we continue investing in these systems, and for Transit Month- let’s be inspired by Seoul, South Korea, where they invested in their transit system and continue to be ambitious in their expansion.
This is a double-membership opportunity! We're partnering with the SF Hoo Lee Gans to provide an exclusive deal for SFTR members. Each ticket gets you both access to the 9/23 game, a membership with the SF Hoo Lee Gans! SF Hoo Lee Gan memberships get you access to discounted Giants tickets, members-only events, a fire wig, and a Hoo Lee Gan shirt. *EVERY TICKET COMES WITH A COMPLIMENTARY TRANSIT MONTH 2025 CLIPPER CARD!*
Event Details Tuesday, September 23, 2025
Ride along from UN Plaza (355 McAllister St, San Francisco, CA 94102) Meet-up at: 5:30 pm Giants Game starts at: 6:45 pm |

Collect your Transit Month prizes at our upcoming Rider First Awards! |
Join San Francisco Transit Riders and Seamless Bay Area on October 10th to close out Transit Month by celebrating some of the people who have gone above and beyond to improve transit in the past year. We'll honor bus operators, transit planners, and advocates alike who help us build a more equitable, growing, and accessible public transit system and culture for all. The Rider First Awards cap off a month of events, rallies, and our Ride Contest. It's also where we'll be announcing our various Ride Contest winners and handing out prizes. We'll have fun activities, special guest speakers, and light food and refreshments. Come celebrate with us!
Event Details Friday, October 10, 2025 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Bay Area Metro Center (375 Beale St, San Francisco, CA 94105) |

Tell Mayor Lurie: Keep Market Street Safe and Car-Free! Keep Market Street Moving Coalition
Car-free Market has transformed one of San Francisco’s most dangerous and congested streets into one where transit moves efficiently and quickly, people can ride bikes or scooters far more safely, and people walking or taking transit can cross the street without fear. Reintroducing cars will undo this progress. It also raises the mobility convenience of those with the most money over the needs of people who rely on affordable transportation like transit, biking, and rolling.
We're sending letters to Mayor Lurie strongly urging him to reverse course on allowing ride-hail services to operate on Market Street.
