The public transit system is broken for not being able to stop the fare evaders. I take buses running on Mission & Folsom Streets regularly and found that only 20% of riders pay due fare over past seven years. This means honest tax payersâ money is being wasted by these fare dodgers. I observed that the age group between early twenties to mid-thirties are the most frequent âskippersâ. It is truly deplorable to see these younger generation, our future, turning into cheaters.
Furthermore, SFMTA has not put any effective due diligence in collecting fares.
If SFMTA hires a group of three onboard fare inspectors and they issue 40 violation tickets a day, such a single team can collect fines of $700,000 per year, and $7M for 10 revolving teams (a total of 30 fare enforcers).

I got my car towed for âblocking a drivewayâ and appealed the citation. I showed them that a car was parked there right after mine, as well as about 7 google street pics going back to 2018 that cars park where I was at. Thereâs also time limit sign right next to it. The hearing was done by an sfmta employee to no use. âIt only take ones complaintâ. I was able to get my car due to the un organization of the agency, but was threatened to pay 3k+ in other fees.
This organization is a great representation of whatâs wrong with...
