A MUNI repairman has been charged with stealing from the fare-box to the tune of at least $80,000. He also has "a bank account in his native country of Malta."
Matier and Ross also report:
Speaking of Muni: Muni riders have been catching an odd sight these days -- Willie Brown riding the bus.
The 1-California bus, from his Nob Hill apartment down to his new Embarcadero office.
Reason: "Have you seen how much parking costs in this town?" the former mayor asked. "They want $40 a day -- $53 with in-and-out privileges.''
