Good for SFMTA’s executive director, announcing a move that will save the agency at least a piss-in-the-pot $40K. But I’m waiting for him to go the way of Big Three auto execs, and announce a salary sacrifice of $1/year.
Thx: SFist.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday discussed the controversial congestion pricing plan, as detailed by the Chronicle Wednesday.
Some really good ideas here, like using toll funds to pay for bus rapid transit, or a free transit zone downtown. A lot of kinks to work out, including designing the zone itself, and how much to charge, but I love that they’re talking about this.
SFist reports of a 16-X bus hitting a cyclist on Great Highway this morning. This comes on the heels of last week’s 10-Townsend collision.
Bikers, bus operators: Please, please watch out for each other.
Thousands of people marched to protest proposition 8 over the weekend in San Francisco and beyond. Matt from the marriage equality website, Stop8.org, sent in these pictures of protesters marching alongside our beloved transit system.
You can see the rest of Matt’s protest-day photos in his Flickr photostream.
If you’ve got more transit-related protest pics, send ’em in.
Especially if they involve getting to today’s protest at City Hall, i.e., via Muni.
Email us here and we’ll get the images posted. We’ll post videos, too, if we have the bandwidth.
It wasn’t even close, and Muni Diaries applauds the voters of San Francisco.
