"Drivers would pay to travel on San Francisco's most traffic-choked corridors - roadways such as the Embarcadero, Van Ness Avenue, Broadway and Harrison Street - under a plan getting serious consideration from city transportation officials in their continuing quest to get more people out of their cars." - Chris White via Bookmarklet

I think if they do this, they should be required to build a subway system equal to London, Paris, Tokyo, or NYC. - Chris White

Comment: "the city wants me out of my car; i want me out of my car. so we're on the same page there. over the past two years, i spent about about 1&1/2 in london. london's tube and bus system got me everywhere i wanted to go, or within a very short walk, in a very time-efficient manner. too bad you can't say the same for muni. it seems that muni isn't interested in making it easy to ride muni. just the other day i went to the powell street station and only had a five dollar bill. the get-change-from-the-bart-ticket-machines only give change for a dollar. the only other change machine in the station gives change for a ten or twenty. the surly muni attendant told me i had to go buy something to get the correct change (and she said she had no complaint forms). i went home and got my car. want me out of my car? provide me with a transit system that is focused on customer and public service rather than a transit agency that's really a city welfare program." - Chris White
