And with that, let's get it on.

It'd be cool if the streetcars could have fare machines in the cars like the ones on the platforms out on the Embarcadero. Sometimes you can't get on the first car to pay the driver. Sure, in theory you shouldn't board the train if you can't pay the fare, but the one time I got off the back car and reboarded the front one, the driver told me off, saying it was a good way to miss the train.

Has something to do with the streetcars being historic vehicles and being a violation to modify / add items not originally installed on the vehicle.

I remember reading an article on "forged" Muni Fast Passes that made it sound like they are quite common. Is this actually that big of a deal? Ever see any forged/modified transfers?
Do inspectors ever bust people for "reselling" their transfers, which says right on the transfer that it is forbidden? I see this quite often though, especially on Market downtown.
"Transfers for a dolla! Good all night!"

They are out there. Common? sort of. It takes a sharp fare inspector to catch it. The fake passes are that good.

We have a collection of the fake passes - and part of them were given over to Mr. Ford during that news conference for display.

Busting people for reselling transfers? yes, we've caught and cited those persons too.
