RESCUE MUNI Selected for "Best of the Bay" The SF Bay Guardian named RESCUE MUNI "Best Grassroots Transit Campaign" in the 7/29/98 issue. Thank you, members!

Election Results
The President of the Board of Supervisors will be a RESCUE MUNI member!

Endorsees (and members!) Tom Ammiano and Gavin Newsom came in first and second for the Board of Supervisors. The propositions we supported, E (Central Freeway) and I (Rail on the Bay Bridge), won.

1200 Riders Demand Action
Over 1200 riders signed our petition demanding immediate action on the Metro crisis.

Reuters, the LA Times, and Newsweek (9/14/98 issue) have now told the nation about the Metro Meltdown.

The riders chimed in:
We have moved rider comments to their own page.

How is the "new" Muni Metro for you?
Let us know.

The Mayor Takes A Ride
Mayor Brown hopped on Muni during the Meltdown.
(He didn't sign our petition - but you can.)
This was after he said "I just don't have an hour and a half to spare." (And we do?)
Analysts note that the voters have a say next year.
See Willie on the Metro? Drop us a line.

BART & Fast Pass Update
Mayor Brown has dropped plans to raise fares for
Muni/BART Fast Pass users. Read the 8/12 Chron report, our press release, also our Guardian oped and the report of the previous time we spoke at the PTC.
Note also: BART supports the current system as is (8/22/98 Chron letter).
