looks like the one time cost for doing a renovation is around $1m per car, and are funded by spot grants rather than the general budget. I was unable to find the overhead involved in ongoing maintenance, but it looks like killing the F line is already on the table. | ||

Apparently the cable cars have by far the highest cost to operate per hour anyway. At 2024 numbers in this SPUR report: Cable car 872 streetcare 631 lightrail 412 system avg 327 motorbus 302 trolleybus 281 So canceling each cable car could IIUC, allow the system to add roughly 3 electric buses. https://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/2026-03/SPUR_Taking... | ||
