Yes, you're right: Muni fares just went up back in September, 2014. But as of July 1 some — not all, but some — Muni fares will increase yet again.

Here's the rundown, per a handy chart sent by the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency:





According to the SFMTA, as of July 1 there will also be increases in fees for:

Parking/Transit/Taxi Fines and Late Penalties

Neighborhood Parking Permits

Contractor Parking Permits

Color Curb Zones

Temporary Street Closure

Special Traffic Permits

Project 20 Processing

Boot Removal

Auto Towing & Storage

Special Collections

Service Vehicle Rental

Parklet Installation

Parking Meter Use

Sign Posting

Various Taxi Permits

Those fee changes are all contained in a PDF found deep on the SFMTA site, a document which I uploaded for you here (since their links have a tendency to expire). Enjoy!

According to the SFMTA, all these increases are a result of "the implementation of the SFMTA Board approved Automatic Consumer Price Index (CPI) Policy...a set formula based on a combination of the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) and the SFMTA’s labor cost."

The MTA says that they believe that using this CPI policy makes for "a more predictable and transparent way to set charges that are not already governed under the two-year Operating Budget process required in the SFMTA Charter."

What do you think? "Predictable and transparent" enough for you?
