I really don't understand the MUNI hate people here seem to have.
MUNI covers most of the city, goes frequently and is inexpensive. I use buses everyday to commute and to get around the city and find them surprisingly good.
Slow, dirty, delays/missing busses, infrequent service where I live, did I mention slow?
I ride my bike as my primary way of getting around. It's way faster than taking the bus (MUNI average speed is something like 8 mph) and I can leave work after 7:30pm (the time of the last convenient bus).
