The view in this scene is through the window along the K-Ingleside
line near Balboa Park.
Muni light rail lines utilize a proof-of-payment system. There
are turnstiles and manned booths in the underground portions of the
line, and out through West Portal, but out on city streets it is the honor system. People
with passes, transfers or other authority may enter at any train
door; those needing to pay must use the front entrance, and must
have exact fare ready. Many passengers seem insistent to show
their passes or transfers to the operator, entirely unnecessarily,
but a habit from an older
time. |
