A older teen was stabbed several times while riding the 14 Mission this week. "The 18-year-old victim was riding an outbound 14-Mission bus when he got into a fight with a 19-year-old man at about 1:40 p.m. Wednesday," reports BCN (via SF Appeal). "The pair continued arguing until the bus neared Mission Street and Foote Avenue, where the 19-year-old stabbed the victim." more ›

Apparently, the world won't come to an end for BART riders on July 1. It seems the strike probably, most likely for all intents and purposes won't happen. (That is some shitty news, Bay Area bloggers and media outlets. A Bay Area-wide public transportation meltdown would've been traffic gold during the holiday week. Alas.) But do you know what will happen on Wednesday? Wide-reaching fare increases. Yay! What are those changes, you ask? Akit's Complaint Department has the lowdown. the skinny. the scoop. On Muni, Adult fare (cash) goes up to $2; the same goes for AC Transit. Ferry service goes up a tiny bit. And BART will see a 6.1% fare increase for all riders (that is to say, "Inter San Francisco fare increases to $1.75." (Which, as Akit points out, is still cheaper than Muni.)
