Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Yesterday’s post from Suzanne about a cyclist hit by Muni at Townsend and Fourth got me thinking of a post I did a few years ago about the hierarchy of urban mobility.
That was then. But I’d only make a few modifications today.
In simplified form:
1) pedestrians
2) cyclists
3) mopeds and scooters
4) motorcyclists
5) public transit
6) privately owned cars
7) service trucks
Thoughts?
It wasn’t even close, and Muni Diaries applauds the voters of San Francisco.
Okay, this one is a no-brainer to me, but I’d like to open it up, if anyone feels like talking about it.
Proposition P will be on the ballot (along with 21 other measures) next week (or now, for those of you who are voting early). It proposes changing the rules and responsibilities of the S.F. Transportation Authority Board.
Perhaps it seems a given that this site would wholeheartedly endorse a measure calling for massive improvements to regional, commuter, and public rail programs. But on the ballot in California next week is Proposition 1A, and it’s got this blogger tied up in all sorts of knots.
The Candlestick Express, which carries SFers to 49ers on game day, crashed into a pole on Van Ness near Geary.
Come on, admit it, you’ve been known to check out a fellow rider or two on your bus ride — besides reading the wrong book or avoiding the over-friendly weirdo, what else is there to do on Muni? Vote for the hottest Muni line in the city or tell us if you think your line should have been nominated.
