It was always a fiction that TEP would magicly erase the 20+ % daily absenteeism.

I see mostly empty buses all the time between commute hours or after. Bigger buses during the commute and smaller buses or vans at other times should be considered. I recall when the jitneys on Mission provided good service. Maybe it is time to bring back private operators to compete with Muni. Nothing else seems to have made Muni appreciably better.

I take it every day at least three times a day! I don't want to have to use the 14 or 49 Mission Busses. Mission Street is slow, dirty, chaotic and dangerous. Please don’t discontinue the 26!
