… was announced today. Drop by and pay the ladies a visit.
Hello there,
We at Muni Diaries have been busy lately, living our lives, working our jobs, planning big, upcoming changes to the site. Details are still being hammered out, but expect new features, a new look, but the same basic functionality to the site. We’re aiming to make it easier to read and write your stories, to feature Muni news separately from the diaries, and to add a bunch of new features that should make everyone’s lives a little better.
In the meantime, I thought I’d remind everyone that Muni Diaries aren’t merely the provenance of a few select San Francisco residents. The intent from the beginning has been for this to be a space to read and write, about anything having to do with Muni.
So, take a moment to register, if you haven’t already, and begin telling the world your stories today. Give your story a headline, hit submit for review, and we’ll look it over and publish it. You can make it anonymous, or leave a name, tagline, links, whatever. Publish your diary and tell all your friends about the site. Join our Facebook group and spread the word.
We hope you’re enjoying this weekend of warm weather and sunshine. Lord knows it won’t last.
– Jeff
Just a quick nudge to remind you that Muni Manners is having a transit photo contest. The deadline is September 15, rapidly approaching.
The Chronicle reports that service is back following yesterday afternoon’s fire at the Castro Station.
Update: According to a trusted source, the problem is mechanical. Still unsure of where, or what nature. And also, the fire? Can anyone confirm?
Original post: This just in by way of text from roving Muni Diaries field reporter Eugenia Chien:
Fire at Castro Station. K, L, M lines are delayed or not running. They are advising people to take a shuttle on Van Ness. Civic Center Station a mess!
Then:
Now the F is nowhere to be found
Stay tuned for more ….
Funny, because I understand making the most of the workforce you have. And it’s understandable that Muni isn’t at full hiring capacity (who in their right minds would want that abuse, really?).
What I don’t get is why, if so many of its drivers are working overtime, there are so many half- and missing routes. Is it really that bad?
