Most Cameras Don't Work, Muni Admits Once Arm Twisted

There's a more basic problem here. Clearly this information was known when a Big Press Conference about stickers was held, but someone told someone not to say these exact figures.

I'm used to "Mayor" Newsom saying one thing and doing another, or not meaning what he says. There's no reason Everyone Else has to follow his lead, however.

It's pretty incredible that the city's attorneys wanted to keep the number of broken cameras secret. How can anyone trust Muni?

Well, I trust Muni.

That is, I trust Muni to be erratic, dirty and dangerous. I depend on Muni to make getting to work an adventure, and getting home a voyage that would stagger Ulysses. I count on Muni's drivers to be surly to anyone outside their ethnic group, and intent on covering their own hides at the expense of passenger safety. I rely on Muni's leadership to collect ridiculously huge paychecks while looking for better-paid jobs at other transit systems. I am confident that anything coming out of a Muni spokesperson's mouth has more obfuscation and missing details than a Soviet-era issue of Pravda.
