SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – San Francisco officials are exploring whether the city can act on its own, without statewide legislation, to keep tour bus drivers from simultaneously playing tour guide too after a deadly accident in front of City Hall.
The city may be able to compel tour bus companies, which are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, to comply with stricter local standards if they only operate within San Francisco, said Supervisor Jane Kim.
