If you ride Muni, you have to pay your fare. Today I met Veronica, one of the many fare inspectors who are cracking down on fare evaders across the city. Muni is on the rise—with record ridership since the pandemic and the highest customer service ratings in its history. San Francisco’s comeback depends on safe, reliable, and affordable transit—and that’s what we’ll deliver.
Two years after winning the division, Baltimore punts at the deadline. Had to be done. Sure. I get it. Injuries were insane early and it was too far gone.
