SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Truth be known. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has a perception problem. You know, they're the ones that run Muni buses and trains, enforce parking regulations, and promote the use of bicycles. At a recent SFMTA Board meeting, one could hear a few people say, "I don't trust SFMTA," or "I smell a rat."Despite this skepticism, the board of directors unanimously adopted the city's Biking and Rolling Plan.
