»In which The Mayor explains MUNI budget shortfalls

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has found MUNI's missing millions: cable-car conductors are embezzling from tourists and homeboys alike. This is the perfect time for Nathaniel Ford, the new head honcho at MUNI, to declare that the transportation system will begin using electronic fare collection.

No, it turns out to be the perfect time to shut down the subway system early each night for the next year. At least: MUNI still has not completed the much-anticipated Third Street Light Rail project. And their intensely-convoluted web site galls me, in its inaccessibility and its backwards attempts to provide accessibility.
