Good Thing I Took Transit

On Thursday afternoon I went for a haircut on 17th Street near where there F-Market streetcar line ends in The Castro. There's a Chevron station across the street at 17th / Market / Castro.



It's a good thing I took transit! But, is it? Muni is increasing its fares, too. Ok, I can understand that Muni must cover expenses (even though they still can't run on time). What bugs me is that token prices will be $15.00 for ten tokens.

$15.00/10 = $1.50 per ride = no discount

So where's the discount for buying tokens? Why not just get rid of them? Sadly, that is was the only discount program available for those who take transit often enough to warrant a discount but not frequently enough for a Fast Pass.
