You want people to ride the blue bus, but then you move a convenient bus stop to an inconvenient location. What was wrong with (#2 bus) the stop on 16th and Wilshire, right at the hospital for staff and patients to get on and off, now you have to walk a block to get to work, dumb.

And … what is with the shake down of visitors at the pier entrance, five minute of jumping around, 55 minutes of shaking down the crowd, not for $1 but $20+ and humiliate the visitor with derogatory statements, shut this down.
