If you are a visitor/commuter from the burbs, you most likely aren't riding MUNI much except for rare occasions or for short trips. Otherwise you are asking for a ridiculously long commute. They still pay the fare. People tend to drive if the trip is ridiculously long by transit. Go tell people how much SF residents pay for museums and how much they pay if they are low income. Compare that to people who don't live in SF but are low income.

BART and CalTrain have very few connection points with Muni. The CalTrain people would get off at 4th & King and a relatively small percentage would take the 3rd street streetcar. The primary BART connection points are near the Embarcadero. Muni is so slow from the SOMA that it is often easier and faster to walk to/from those BART stops. Oftentimes, instead of MUNI, you saw people with scooters or bikes. The people going to the other BART stops don't need to connect to MUNI. They could be working for the city and can just get right out and walk a few blocks. The tech people I knew detested BART and completely ignored MUNI. It was Uber for them.

I've no idea what point you're trying to make, but you've demonstrated quite clearly why tech workers get treated with so much disdain. Not to put too fine a point on it but a bunch of carpetbaggers who are too good to be seen near th proles sneering down at you from their ivory towers isn't a good look. It's especially ungrateful after the city created the 83X - Tech Bro Express that connects Caltrain to Market. As for Muni (it's an abbreviation not an acronym), every BART station within San Francisco (and the Daly City station) gets Muni service except for Glen Park. The Glen Park station is a short walk from the J.
