I admit that i actually don't know about the POP policy where I have to have valid transfer before completing my ride. However, I feel the station agent that let me in from Embarcadero should have inform me about the policy. In a way, I feel he let me in, so I will be cited by his colleague later in other stops. Isn't this considered intrapment?Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500346961546964210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-35899483230486587332009-04-14T11:55:00.000-07:002009-04-14T11:55:00.000-07:00To add to this:

I don't have a problem with that.<br /><br />But when it's Muni's own fucking fault that some train broke down and you are STUCK and UNABLE TO GET A NEW TRANSFER onboard the second car (and you know this Greg, you ride the N-Judah and the 2nd car has no train operator), we the average passengers get fucked in the ass by Muni's fare inspectors.<br /><br />Things were much happier without POP.Akithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905273274257369338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-24769101249300139152009-04-14T11:44:00.000-07:002009-04-14T11:44:00.000-07:00Greg: I could care less about Ken's kid in that ar...Greg: I could care less about Ken's kid in that article.

No fare inspectors so we can have lots of people not paying their fair share of the cost of riding the bus?<br /><br />I'm no fan of ultra-arbitrary judgements but the fact is the fare inspector is in a bad position. If they start letting people go for small infractions, they're accused of favoritism. If they ticket everyone, no exceptions, they're hated too.<br /><br />In the mix, though, are a core group of riders who do not pay, and expect a free ride. That certainly isn't the case with this one person who had a 9 minute expired transfer, but still, how would you ensure that MUNI collects the money that it is owed already?<br /><br />If MUNI simply collected more of the current fare, they wouldn't need to raise them. They'd be getting paid by the people who actually use the bus from more people not just the honest ones who have to cover for the fleabag hippies who steal from the rest of us.<br /><br />Shitting on fare inspectors accomplishes nothing, and I'd point out that Ken's article was hardly unbiased - he thought his kid should ride the bus for free and not pay the consequences, hence his "article."Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639710572191340548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-78420822321824488822009-04-13T22:05:00.000-07:002009-04-13T22:05:00.000-07:00They have fare inspectors on the bus too, but they...They have fare inspectors on the bus too, but they only hang around the back doors and let people through the back instead of giving fines to people.Whole Wheat Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16200744024405247144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-21741346000396459302009-04-13T07:42:00.000-07:002009-04-13T07:42:00.000-07:00Shit!Shit!Akithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905273274257369338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-41902171249272044642009-04-13T06:43:00.000-07:002009-04-13T06:43:00.000-07:00The 28 fare inspector positions are already unfill...The 28 fare inspector positions are already unfilled.
