On September 1, 2005, Muni:
· Raised the adult fare from $1.25 to $1.50. This was the second fare increase in three years, and more are planned.
· Raised the Youth, Senior and Disabled fare from 35¢ to 50¢.
· Raised the Weekly Pass from $12 to $15.

Muni has openly declared its intention to raise the fare to $2.00.
The following is from a memo by former Muni director Michael Burns:
"Staff is viewing a potential FY06 fare increase within a five-year window. For example, were the adult cash fare to be increased to $1.50 in FY06, then staff believes it makes sense to plan on increasing this fare by a quarter in both FY08 and FY10, resulting in a $2.00 adult cash fare in the final year. All other categories would be similarly increased."
Check out the memo for yourself on Muni's website. The quote is from page 4: http://www.sfmuni.com/cms/brd/mta/documents/FY2005RevenueProposalsmemoFeb12005.pdf
While politicians pick the pockets of Muni riders, cut service and layoff drivers, they give away millions to downtown corporations and the rich. Recently-departed Muni director Michael Burns was paid an outrageous $280,000 per year.
Muni wants us to PAY MORE TO WAIT LONGER. We say NO WAY!
