  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:

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!
