The expenditure plan that was included in the proposition prioritized the planning and implementation of transit expansion along four transit corridors, including Geary Boulevard. In 1989, the city of San Francisco approved Proposition B, a ballot measure that approved a half-cent sales tax for transportation. A report in 1935 recommended both the Geary Subway as well as a Market Street Subway for removing operations from the surface, but voters suffering from the Great Depression did not have a desire for the $13-million project ($257 million in 2021 adjusted for inflation). City Engineer Michael O'Shaughnessy proposed a streetcar subway under the road as far as Larkin Street. Proposals Early plans īy the 1930s, Geary was the city's most congested transit corridor. By 2008 the 38 Geary and 38R Geary Rapid constituted Muni's most heavily used bus line in the city with over 50,000 passengers per day. Rail service ended in 1956 and trips were replaced with buses. The agency's A Geary-10th Avenue, B Geary, C Geary-California, and D Geary-Van Ness lines traversed the street. San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni) acquired the corridor as its first streetcar line, opening in 1912. The Geary Street, Park and Ocean Railway began operating cable cars on Geary starting in 1880.
