Massive downpour forces underground Muni closure
Update: And … no sooner do we post than we hear that service is restored, although trains are apparently bypassing Van Ness Station. Update from ActionNewsSF.
Original post: According to several Twitter sources and SFist, Muni has suspended all subway service after extensive flooding at several stations.
The agency (SFMTA) plans to have more buses on the streets to try to alleviate what’s expected to be a huge commute-ache. Good luck out there!
How are you getting around the problem?
Deadline near for Muni obituary submissions
Update (Sunday, October 18, 10 a.m.): The good kind of Muni delay?
Bearing out the comment by insider trading, we’ve confirmed that the scheduled route terminations have been pushed back yet again, this time to early December.
So, we’ll extend our deadline yet again. New deadline for Muni obituaries is Sunday, November 22.
Hi. Just a quick post to remind you to send us your respects for those bus lines going out of service next month. To recap, they are:
* 4-Sutter
* 7-Haight
* 16AX-Noriega “A” Express
* 20-Columbus
* 26-Valencia
* 53-Southern Heights
* 89-Laguna Honda
We’ve received a handful, and have plenty for the 26-Valencia and 20-Columbus. But the other lines sure could use more love. The weekend is a perfect time to pay tribute to your favorite dying Muni line. We’ll be closing the window for submissions at the end of the day Sunday.
Muni dance like you just don’t care
The fine folks at SF Appeal have alerted us to Saturday’s Muni dance troop, Trolley Dances. True, they won’t exactly be dancing on Muni, but if you’re still looking for things to do, check this out and report back to us here at Muni Diaries.
BART’s Oakland Airport Connector — Yea or Nay? (updates)

Update (9:04 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009): Transbayblog has a recap of last night’s City Council meeting, in which the council approved the OAC, with a caveat or two.
Original post: Things could come to a boil at tonight’s Oakland City Council meeting, when the council will vote on a resolution rejecting a proposal for an elevated line connecting the Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont lines to the Oakland International Airport. The estimated cost of the project: $522 million.
We at BART Diaries see both sides of a fairly complicated and certainly expensive project. But we want to know how you, dear reader/BART rider, feel about this. Let us know in the comments.
Oh, and if you’re so inspired, Transbay Blog is awarding prizes to anyone who shows up to tonight’s City Council meeting to speak about the OAC (Oakland Airport Connector).
