		<description><![CDATA[The SFMTA purchased insurance at the cost of $2.4M, which covers claims from $5M to $25M. The policy went into effect July 1, which means that the July 18th crash between two Muni LRVs at West Portal Station, which injured over 40 people, maybe covered. So far, the only claim that has come forward is [...]]]></description>

(This is $11M per year, or about one-tenth of annual fare revenues.) Of course a good chunk of this money goes to [...]]]></description>
