Your daily commute just got safer. Well, hopefully. The Office of Homeland Security just awarded the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) a crisp $7 million "to improve security and public safety on San Francisco's transit system," AKA Muni. Stemming from voter-approved state Proposition 1B way back in 2006, the windfall will, theoretically, go to help bettering such things as lighting, camera surveillance, and communication technology.
But knowing Muni, they'll just blow it all on baseball cards, gumdrops, and fancy accessories. Seeing as how public transit has been a bit dicey as of late, what safety features would you all like to see sharpened during your Muni commute?

Drivers with tasers, please. And thank you.
Will I still be able to sneak in the back door?
How about regularly testing all drivers for drugs, vision, and ADHD. There probably wouldn't be more than a handful who could pass all three.
They're probably just restocking body bags.
Driver accountability?
as long as i can keep using my November 2007 Fast Pass and am allowed to have an open container from time to time after street fairs....
should have called in sick today.
armed officers on any buses that are frequented by teenagers.
I'd vote for storage bins for the crazies who want to drag big garbage bags full of soda and beer cans down the middle aisle of the F market cars.
Or better yet, not letting those people on in the first place.
underground dedicated light-rail. screw buses. screw muni. give us a modern metro. now.
Bring back the rickshaw!!!
armed federal marshals sitting in the pool of urine seat.
People still ride busses? Who knew?
brilliant that almost every word in that sentence was a link to a recent muni accident. i laughed. anyway i'd agree that driver accountability might be a pretty good thing.
Improvements for MUNI?
Howsabout a ban on anything with an on-off switch, especially cell phones?
Violators to be tried on the spot by a jury of fellow passengers. Penalty always to be death by beheading, using the train's front wheels.
How about razor-sharp doors on the Breda LRVs that will cut off the limbs of any asshat that tries to hold them open?
Fire the drivers. Every single fucking one of them.
