		Muni, which cannot take a political position on the initiative, says a big issue is the replacement of the 45 or so older vehicles it uses as reserves in case of a catastrophic quake or flout.
		Rescue Muni contends that managing Muni at the ballot will merely force the transit agency into a dilemma where it will have to reduce service to comply with the ultimatum.
		Muni's biggest hurdle is how to pay for the new buses -- particularly the reserves, though it is already slowly phasing out the oldest diesels from the 540-bus fleet.

		Eventually, the lead was passed once again to something called "Rescue Muni." Rescue Muni was billed as a Muni riders' organization, but was in reality almost wholly a media creation of the then-Hearst-controlled SF Examiner.
		In the end, it was the infamous Muni meltdown of 1999 that allowed Rescue Muni and their corporate backers to ride to the rescue and sell city voters that bill of goods called Prop E. The deal was brokered by Rescue Muni's chief political supporter, Supervisor Gavin Newsom.
		A number of rank-and-file Muni riders are fighting back against the fare hike and service cuts by calling for a fare strike, starting September 1, when the fare is scheduled to go up.

	San Francisco Muni needs Substance not Frills (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		RESCUE Muni wants a supervisor stationed at Van Ness station to manage traffic and redesignate destinations of cars, to crack down on chaotic operations.
		RESCUE Muni says a "major problem is that cars leave the Embarcadero station in an erratic order.
		Because Muni doesn't tell customers what trains are coming, "passengers force themselves onto the first train that comes because they have no idea how long it might be until the next useable car comes along." By comparison, BART seems to have grasped this need and at least lets riders know what train is coming.

	Rescue Muni Opposes Sandoval Amendment; Measure Would Gut Muni Reform

		Muni has been forced to cut mechanics, middle managers, and other critical positions; the results are obvious on the streets every day.
		The best and fairest way to fund Muni would be to create a transit assessment district and charge downtown commercial property owners a special annual tax proportional to the monetary benefit they receive from the Muni system.
		Muni's not only an easy target for budget-cutters; it's also an easy target for a mayor who wants to reward cronies with lucrative contracts and high-paying jobs.

	RESCUE MUNI
		Though MUNI is still the major mover of transit riders in the Bay Area, many folks able to afford taxis or daily driving/parking costs, options which increase societal costs of traffic congestion and pollution, have decided it is worth the cost to escape MUNI.
		RESCUE MUNI was formed by those dependent upon transit by choice and frustrated at the decline in service.
		For example, if MUNI would always make sure the MUNI Metro platform signs indicated ahead of time the order of cars in the next train, passengers could be where they need to be to catch their car instead of having to run around a crowded platform 20 seconds before the train arrives.

		Rescue Muni's many dedicated volunteers have successfully advocated many other improvements, including the Castro Shuttle, keeping BART service on the Fast Pass, expanded bus lanes, and more.

	Muni hits on-time goal -- barely / Crimes, accidents up from year earlier
		A series of rider surveys conducted separately this year by the Muni, the watchdog group Rescue Muni and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce showed an increase in rider confidence in the once-beleaguered transit agency.
		A major concern, Burns said, is that the Muni has direct influence over only 75 percent or so of its schedule by doing such things as manipulating timetables, adding new vehicles, changing management practices, making the fleet more reliable through improved maintenance and reducing driver absenteeism.
		Although Burns expressed satisfaction with the Muni's improvement in meeting schedules, he was less pleased when it came to the system's crime rate.

		Both the Board of Supervisors' and Rescue Muni's plans propose that Muni be run by a seven-member board appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the board.
		Rescue Muni's initiative would allow the supervisors to reject fare increases and route abandonments by a two-thirds vote -- and it includes a clause prohibiting the new commission from transferring any Muni assets to a private entity.
		Talks are on right now between the task force, Rescue Muni, the Board of Supervisors, Muni workers' unions, and the mayor, in hopes of boiling the two proposals down to one initiative.

		Others might consider it very likely that Muni could close their budget without cuts and hikes — in fact, the MTA itself presented a budget that did, they just chose not to implement it.
		Sullivan’s supposed status as San Francisco’s resident Muni expert and spokesman for transit riders throughout the city is based on his position as the head of Rescue Muni.
		Rescue Muni has never claimed to represent low-income transit riders or communities of color.

		Muni vehicles must be able to communicate with the controllers, and communications does not exist on most of the M and N-Lines at the street locations identified.
		Downey suggested as a resolution for the corner near UCSF that the yellow line (stop bar) that exist be moved back twenty feet, which in her opinion would resolves the problem for passengers disembarking from a two-car train.

		It might be pointed out that Rescue MUNI is not very representative of the riders of MUNI - even though they have done some good (ie rider surveys).

		When I joined Rescue Muni in 1996, the Municipal Railway was a disaster, suffering from years of underfunding and a complete lack of accountability.
		While Muni still has its problems, service reliability is much improved from the pre-Prop E days, according to Muni's own data as well as Rescue Muni's annual survey.
		I got involved in Rescue Muni because I was dissatisfied with the quality of service from San Francisco's Municipal Railway, and because I believed strongly that San Francisco could do better.

		Rudolph, who's also a member of Muni's Citizens Advisory Committee, suspects that the 48's troubles are related to the length of the route.
