Update: SFWeekly reports:  Union: Barring Mechanical Failure, Driver of Crashed Muni Training Coach Likely to be Fired

Update (3:04 p.m.): SF Appeal has the update on the 3-Jackson crash.

Original post: Another bad day for Muni saw two vehicles collide on Market earlier this morning. And now, via Action News SF, reports and photos of a bus crashing into a building on Laguna near Sutter. Must’ve been either a 3-Jackson or 4-Sutter, right? We’ll update once we know more.

I was poking around Market Street Railway blog the other day when I came across the bad-ass-est site: It’s called San Francisco Cityscape, and it’s a virtual emporium of transit maps, photos of the city, even iPhone background-sized images of wonders like the Golden Gate Bridge or the cable cars on California mountain Street.

But yeah, it’s those transit map that really drew me in. Here are a couple (click image to see original in a new tab/window), but hop on over to SF Cityscapes to fully ingest these visual wonders.

BART ‘deal’

From BART rider Amy:

I’m pretty sure I witnessed a drug deal on BART the other morning. This guy was measuring out some white powder sitting in his seat on BART and held up a baggie for this other guy that appeared to have pot in it. I considered it all very weird as BART cars have cameras in them.

No photo, unfortunately. It was around 9:40 or so. Late for work, per usual. The guy who appeared to be the buyer was wearing a puffy yellow sports jacket. I remember because I saw him walking into the 16th Street BART and thought, “what a ridiculous yellow puffy jacket.” He was sitting in one seat turned around backward talking to the other guy with the drugs who was in the seat behind him.

What have you seen on BART lately? Tell us: bartdiaries@gmail.com
