		<description><![CDATA[The 14L-Mission Limited buses that used to stop tantalizingly close to the Daly City BART station finally will take people the rest of the way during AM and PM commute hours.  Temporarily, the morning runs will be connected by a shuttle between Daly City BART and the 14L at Goethe Street, though eventually the 14L [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In May, Lea Militello became the MTA&#8217;s new police commander. She has a novel idea: not only place fare inspectors at key evasion stops, but also place inspectors at random stops, so no matter where customers board, they will have the expectation of encountering a fare inspector. The plan is working, the number of citations [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite strong opposition by riders in recent public hearings, the MTA Board is planning to vote on proposed service cuts and fare increases to balance this year&#8217;s budget. SF Streetsblog has a good summary of what is scheduled. In particular, the proposal does NOT include extended parking meter hours or meter enforcement on Sunday, but [...]]]></description>

Do you agree with us that extended meter hours (including enforcing meters on Sundays) are far better than cutting mass transit, and that charging extra for the F line and expresses is a terrible idea? If so, please attend and comment at this SFMTA public meeting: Town Hall Meeting, One [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rescue Muni unequivocally opposes the proposed $5 fare for the F-Market historic streetcar line.Â  We recognize that this is an extraordinarily difficult budget year, and that despite the recent fare increase, Muni is running short on money from other sources.Â  But the F-Market is one of the most cost-effective lines in the city, and other, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what will surprise nobody at all, the MTA has found in a recent study that &#8220;nearly 10 percent&#8221; of Muni riders don&#8217;t pay. With a 10% fare evasion rate, the potential annual revenue from stricter enforcement could be as much as $17 million per year &#8211; not enough to do away with the annual [...]]]></description>

The $29 million project to replace fare gates with cashless Translink-only gates will be moved up 1 and a half years for completion in the fall of 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[As part of the continuing budget debate about the MTA, Supervisor Dufty is urging Muni to raise fines for fare evasion to $75 from the current $50, and more importantly raise fines for repeat offenses to $500 for a third offense. Although this won&#8217;t close the budget gap on its own, this is a much [...]]]></description>
