My point: Muni is by far the agency that carries the most San Franciscans, and like automobile infrastructure, it is very heavily subsidized by the general public. All modes in San Francisco are basically funded by the SFMTA, and there's no reason to continue to fail to adequately fund bicycling infrastructure.
