Budget Cuts and MUNI Fare Hikes

Published by jodapoet under News, San Francisco Edit This

Here we go again.  The Municipal Railway also known as MUNI will be increasing the fares and doing away with eight muni lines on July 1st.  The fare will increase to two dollars for adults.  We do not know as yet the increase to the Fast Pass.   All of this on the heels of an investigation which shows that a dozen or so MUNI drivers are making double there salary or more on overtime.  Does anyone see the problem here?  The riders have to pay for these drivers making double in salary why they cut routes and buses on many of the muni routes.   For people who use MUNI regularly this is $4.00 per day.  Even if you don’t use it regularly it is still that amount because transfers are only good for a couple of hours.  It’s ridiculous and something should be done about this - NOW!
