San Francisco Muni riders face the prospect of some of the deepest service cuts in the agency's history, resulting in longer wait times and more crowding.

The staff-crafted proposal to trim costs and boost revenue will get its first hearing at City Hall this morning before the Municipal Transportation Agency governing board.

If approved, almost every line would be affected. Even the heavily used workhorse routes, such as the 14-Mission, the 1-California and the 38-Geary, would run less frequently. Late-night service - 1 to 5 a.m. - would be slashed in half, meaning buses would show up every 60 minutes. Service would end earlier on more than a dozen routes.

Perhaps it's time I buy a bike. Forgoing a few months of Fastpasses would pay for a decent used bike. If only I had the space to store a bike.
