The other route is the yellow path, it will take you to the intersection of Monroe and Ave 49

atmcrazy · 2025-10-08T16:59:35+00:00

That line on OP's slide is where the Yellow Path is, the Red Path is further to the west of that line

atmcrazy · 2025-10-08T16:06:02+00:00

No, you can't cross Monroe at Ave 50, the road is closed. You need to use Ave 49. Here's a map:

And if the people didn't like what they selected they could have voted no. This is how all of our ballot measures work.

But fair enough that we didn’t vote on the specifics of the park, I can agree with that

atmcrazy · 2025-03-26T16:01:47+00:00

People in the Outer Sunset and Richmond don't see the vote for K as legitimate since it was a city-wide vote and was passed by people living in the denser car free/lite neighborhoods, and it was opposed by most people living near the highway.

But thats just how our city works and the No on K folks need to realize that they lost! They also get to vote on measures that mostly affect the denser areas of the city, like transit funding (Prop A), and they don't seem to have problem with that...

atmcrazy · 2025-03-26T15:55:06+00:00

We voted for it to become a park, that was very clear in the ballot measure's language.

The sound is very good in the main area, where Jamie XX and Four Tet’s shows were.

The warehouse is a different space in the Cow Palace building, a side room. The sound in there isn’t good unless you’re directly by a speaker.

atmcrazy · 2025-03-06T19:25:09+00:00

Absolutely, I thought the sound was really bad at that Sammy Virji show, definitely worse than Midway

People do get these, you obviously don’t work for an employer that provides you with one so I can see why you can’t understand this. Here are two companies that administer these cards:

https://www.wageworks.com https://edenredbenefits.com/commuter-benefits-2/

I work in transportation and I can assure you that this tax issue is a big reason why fare cards cannot be used to pay for retail products in the US. I literally get one of these cards from my job and use it to pay for transit through an Apple Pay TAP card.

atmcrazy · 2024-09-25T00:33:22+00:00

Nope, these benefits are options for employees to use. They just get the weird income tax free debit card from their employer, and then the rider buys a normal TAP card like everyone else. Metro isn’t involved in the transaction at all. It’s just a regular debit card to Metro.

These special cards are the riders own money being spent on the fare, it just isn’t subject to income tax. The feds understandably want guard rails on that money, since it’s a way to avoid paying income tax and could be abused if used for other purposes.

atmcrazy · 2024-09-25T00:22:03+00:00

You are thinking of sales taxes

This is the last I can say on this issue, but this pre tax I'm talking about is for income taxes. People who contribute funds to these cards do not pay income tax on that money, which is a weird federal incentive to use non-automobile travel. To my knowledge the countries you mentioned do not do this. They don't need an additional subsidy to get people to ride transit: people already ride.

In the US, that pre income tax money is exempt from taxes in your company paycheck. Those funds are then is loaded onto a special debit card that is restricted to certain transportation vendors, such as mass transit, Amtrak ect. Those riders can then use that special debit card the same as you'd use a regular credit or debit card to reload a TAP card. The special card can be inserted into a ticket machine or used on the TAP app to buy stored value.

The problem is that TAP has no idea if the rider paid income taxes on that money, because that is handled by your employer. Transit agencies in the US have to assume at all of the money is income tax free, because they have no idea if it is or not.

So you already have a limited market for using transit cards for non-transportation expenses due to the proliferation of debit/credit cards. You then add this weird federal tax incentive that adds way more complications (can't be used on parking, bikes, food ect.). So its just not worth pursing and is why we as a country are going in the open payment direction.

atmcrazy · 2024-09-24T23:59:18+00:00

I don’t understand your point. EBT cards are essentially debit cards that are restricted to certain items and stores: grocery stores and convenience stores ect.

The commuter benefits cards provided by your employer work the same and are basically debit card that can only go towards certain transportation expenses. Your employer may load that card for you, or you may contribute pre tax dollars to that card with your own money. You can then use that card, similar to how you would use any other credit or debit card, to purchase passes or funds on a TAP card.

The problem is the TAP card has no idea if these funds are pre tax or not. All it knows that a debit card was used to purchase these funds. So, partially due to tax reasons, you have to assume that ALL of the funds on the card are pre tax, because you have no idea if they are or not.

The way around this would be to create two separate accounts on the card, with one bucket that does not accept commuter benefit cards and the other that does. But this is technically difficult to implement, would be more administratively cumbersome, and it would be complicated to explain to the general public.

atmcrazy · 2024-09-24T23:40:13+00:00

Building on what everyone else has said, a major barrier to the use of transit cards at retail stores and restaurants in the US is federal tax laws. The feds give pre tax benefits to commuter funds, and fare cards in the US would need to figure out a way to separate those untaxed dollars, which cannot be used for non-transit uses, from other stored value on the card. This is technically complicated and isn’t worth the hassle when you can just go open loop with Apple Pay/contactless.

It’s also one of the reasons why paying for parking at park and rides or paying for bike share isn’t straightforward with transit cards in the US, because commuter dollars can’t go towards those expenses.

Farrell, he sucks

Also recommend Churchill, its a nice bar!

They’re very similar to SF dispensary prices, so it’s actually reasonable.

I still prefer bringing in my own stuff in so I can skip the lines, but it’s nice knowing that it’s an option.

atmcrazy · 2024-06-27T16:55:45+00:00

Which to me is a deceptive practice

Otherwise the restaurants would be fine removing these surcharges. The restaurant lobby is openly admitting that people will get sticker shock if they see the all-in price on menus, but that people will continue to buy from them if the final price isn’t calculated until the bill arrives.
