I’m diffinately not rude about it and hold the door open, that’s what the grey bars on most busses are for. <BR/><BR/>As long as the 38 continues to be so completely over crouded and late I will not pay. If the system ran on time and was simi-clean I’d pay $3 a ride.Back of the Bus Podcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827844288749502892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-51786422471511578632008-04-17T21:02:00.000-07:002008-04-17T21:02:00.000-07:00I believe public transit should be frequent, clean...<I>I believe public transit should be frequent, clean, comfortable and free.

It takes a public commitment and a public investment. Too bad much of the public's money is given away in the form of large tax breaks to rich corporations. It's just sad, really. For all it's "progressive" politics, San Francisco still panders to the multinationals with big bucks.nopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340067592840216669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-42798276125237465752008-04-16T08:32:00.000-07:002008-04-16T08:32:00.000-07:00Dear Markley: The problem is that the back doors r...Dear Markley: The problem is that the back doors really aren't designed for entry. If you don't hold them rather strongly, they can shut on people and cause some serious injury such as the guy who was trying to get on the N Judah recently, didn't make it, and then got dragged under the wheels for two blocks.<BR/><BR/>And in the case of the 30 Stockton or the Van Ness buses, which tend to be overcrowded most of the time, it's a real pain trying to exit the buses when you're carrying anything and there's a sea of humanity rushing towards you who want to get in, blocking the way.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-84697541671215019752008-04-15T22:52:00.000-07:002008-04-15T22:52:00.000-07:00I believe public transit should be frequent, clean...I believe public transit should be frequent, clean, comfortable and free.

I think the people who board through the back doors are more part of the solution than part of the problem. It's am efficient way to get people on the bus. And many of them have fast passes or transfers.Markley Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745230084975880264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-230316452665633812008-04-15T22:13:00.000-07:002008-04-15T22:13:00.000-07:00That is the one bus where I just throw my manners ...That is the one bus where I just throw my manners out the window, plow through the surging crowd, using elbows and bad language in equal measure.
