San Francisco - Free Muni --> Tourist Mecca

Let’s make Muni free

I have long been a proponent of a free Muni, run in an efficient, public-serving manner. The idea is to create a tourist mecca with free public transit as its anchor. The “experts” tell us that a no-fare Muni is not only impossible, but ridiculous.

Who among us, after reading The Examiner’s Feb. 14 list of Muni’s $67.7 million costs, can’t suspect tremendous fraud and waste? At the very least, there is a budget process that encourages other city departments to make up inflated numbers.
