Every time we bring up nopay increase on all payment options, sfmta replies with it will affect reliability. And i havent seen any reliability or a Better Service ever since i started riding muni when it was 35cents.

Now with those words of caution, as i indicated earlier, i certainly do intend to support this budget and i want to say, if i could, a word of thanks. And i know i speak for all of us, to Speaker Pelosi in washington, because without the 1. 3 billion that her legislation got the bay area, we would be in a world of hurt and in budget debate would be just brutal.
