Muni actually takes advantage of BART to provide core network service along the Mission corridor. Absent BART there would need to be a *big* increase in service along Mission and San Jose/I-280 - certainly costing more than Muni's payments to BART for the service. This along with the obvious convenience benefits of the fast pass led Rescue Muni to oppose any proposal to remove BART from the pass or charge more for BART. On the BART issue, I would disagree.

When Bart serves the west part of San Francisco, then I'd be happy to pay for it. But until then, give us a discounted pass without the Bart.

That would be a nice enhancement - to automatically send you the ticket each month. Kind of like those tickets by mail programs Caltrain and others have had for decades.

The 10th - 22nd timeline doesn't seem to be common knowledge or communicated obviously on the site. I bought my pass online last night when they went on sale, curious to see how long it takes to arrive, and if my information is remembered next month.
