The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted in favor of a three-month “free Muni” pilot program today, the first step toward a summer of ditching your Clipper Card.
While this might sound like we’re just over a month away from hopping on the bus for free, the legislation could still be vetoed by Mayor London Breed, and even if that doesn’t happen, it would also need to be approved by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency s board.
In a rare use of the mayoral veto, Mayor London Breed said late Tuesday that she would not sign off on Supervisor Dean Preston's pilot project to offer free Muni rides for three months.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed warned Tuesday that she would go to the voters to make the city’s shared spaces program permanent if the Board of Supervisors fails to act quickly to pass her legislation that would allow more than 2,000 mostly small businesses to indefinitely use sidewalk and parking spaces to bolster their businesses.
