The SF F line is more than a tourist line. Citizens of the Castro make
up the bulk
of the riders on the outer end,.
The rule remains......clean and repair. Korach at PATCO understood this.\
When Alan Kieper took over MARTA, he had employees downtown
who went thru the bus picking up newspapers and cleaning.
Security at the barn is also important. Gunn put wire around the yards.
Cleveland is doing this right.
Tunnel car house was very open. From another era.
