RULES & REGULATIONS * USA - Supervisor Chiu Proposes New Tour Bus Ones

San Francisco,CAL,USA -SF Appeal, by Samantha Bell -October 6, 2010: -- In response to community complaints, Board of Supervisors President, David Chiu, is working on quieting and regulating the sightseeing buses that constantly cruise the tourist hot spots. According to a press release from his office, Chiu presented a package of policy proposals at yesterday's board meeting which will address the problem of tour buses idling too long, blocking traffic, and using loud amplification systems through quite residential neighborhoods...   Chiu's requests include things like moving and identifying additional tour bus loading zones, improving enforcement of passenger loading zones, and exploring the possibility of a permit system for tour bus parking. He also sent a letter to the SFPD yesterday asking that they increase enforcement on existing laws against idling, noise in public spaces, and unloading passengers in the middle of the street...   Currently the fine for commercial vehicles idling for more than five minutes is $100 for the initial offense and can jump to $500 for multiple offenses in one year. Chiu doesn't think that is enough... (Photo San Francisco double-decker tour bus)
