There’s a push to let cars back on San Francisco’s Market Street to spur activity in the downtown area. It’s not a good idea.
Cars haven’t been allowed on the corridor since 2020, but now some are saying that the car-free experiment should end.

I don't completely agree that opening Market St so some new traffic is a bad idea. If the intent is to ensure public transit isn't impeded, why are Taxi Cabs allowed? If taxis can use it with a single rider, then why not ride shares like Uber/Lyft? Why is a dropff in a ride share different from a taxi?
Seems they are aware of that problem, according to the article:
Taxis can use Market Street but Uber and Lyft can’t — an aspect of the system that even planners say has problems, since so many people use those ride-booking options, but there’s no obvious way to let them cross 10th Street without allowing all other drivers, too.
