This is so stupid. The fee is equal to the cost of the program. Flushing $1.5 million a year down the toilet. Bizarrely this is a victory as the activists wanted the buses outlawed completely.<p>SF will always be a second best city until it can face it's true demons: decisions made by ideology, that is, without regard to reality or even common sense. I want the tolerant SF of the late 1960s back - a bunch of dockworkers, businessmen, soldiers, factory workers who were cool enough to let freaks and weirdos take over their city. Now the cultural descendants of those freaks complain if you don't look, talk or get to work like them. This needs to stop.
