Here's an idea you'll never use:  Focus on San Francisco residents before tourists.  Start with the cable car lines.  Why is it that if I want to take a cable car from Powell/Market to say North Beach to have a nice dinner with my girlfriend, I have to wait in an unreasonable cable car line full of people who only desire to ride it all the way to the end?  Allow people with monthly fast passes to skip the line.  There are so few of them relative to the tourists in line that the affect on tourist wait times will Read This Posty »
