• Vehicles Plucked from Money-Hemorrhaging Culture Bus Line Gather Dust in Muni Yard

  Ridership will not arrive today. Maybe tomorrow. Last week, the local papers -- and blogs -- wrote their latest round of stories about how Muni's Culture Bus program is blowing through money faster than a meth addict with six girlfriends. This, along with "What are those bastards at AIG doing with our bailout money?" and "Where in the World is Gavin Newsom Today?" are getting to be stories papers can run any time they need -- perhaps 10 times a year or more. In October of 2008, the Examiner repo
