I wrote a blog awhile back about the built in fraud
on the cable car lines. This is the latest report:
“Get a grip: The two cable car gripmen whose potential firings for pocketing fares led to a 2 1/2-hour strike on the system March 2 are back at work at the Municipal Railway.
"That's right -- after serving their 30-day maximum suspensions allowed under city rules, the gripmen are appealing their firings.
"In the meantime, they've both been put on "light duty."
"Their new assignment: keeping riders from ducking fares on the 14-Mission bus line.”
