Yo Adrian! San Francisco Gives Away Free Rides! Clipper Card System K.O.'d!

Clipper Down! I Repeat Clipper Down!

Yo! What's goin' on in San Francisco huh? Heard the Clipper card system went belly up faster than I did in the tenth round with Apollo. Folks were gettin' free rides all over the place. Buses wavin' people on BART gates wide open like Christmas came early or like… well like I just knocked out Drago! 'If he dies he dies,' right? Just kiddin'! Nobody died just the payment system see?

No Fare? No Problem! (For Once)

Now I ain't no mathematician but even I can figure out that free is cheaper than payin'. All them tech fellas and gals in Silicon Valley usin' the Clipper like it's sliced bread suddenly gettin' a free pass? Reminds me of when Mickey trained me for nothin'! 'Get up you son of a b**** cause Mickey loves you!' Well maybe the city loves these commuters... today.

Pandemic Punch Drunk BART

BART's been takin' a beatin' lately see? Numbers way down from the good old days. Seems like even transit systems ain't immune to a knockout punch. They put up new fare gates like tryin' to guard against a jab from Clubber Lang but the real problem is gettin' people back on those trains. It's like tryin' to get Paulie to be optimistic – tough but not impossible.

Clipper 2.0: The Rematch?

They're talkin' 'bout a new and improved Clipper called Clipper 2.0! Sounds like a sequel maybe 'Clipper Goes to Hollywood!' Supposed to be all fancy and 'customer focused.' But they keep delayin' it. It's like me tryin' to retire – keeps gettin' pulled back in for one more fight! And you know 'It ain't over 'til it's over!'

Executive Rumble!

Heard there's been some tense words at the Clipper executive board meetings. Sounds like they need to settle things in the ring just like the good old days! Maybe a little 'Eye of the Tiger' will get them back on track. Remember what I said 'Going in one more round when you don't think you can. That's what makes all the difference in your life.'

Lurie's Local Knockout

And Mayor Daniel Lurie I heard he has big plans for the city. Gonna turn this economy around and knock the bad guys down! If he needs an old pal to help him with the fight tell him Yo Adrian let's do this thing!'
