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?
Beth Winegarner reports for The Examiner.
That headline isn’t sarcastic.
Turns out yesterday’s accident in the Bayview involving a light-rail vehicle and a car was the car driver’s fault. She was allegedly making an illegal left turn.
I feel déjà vu here. A light-rail train apparently rammed a car near Fairfax and Third this morning.
The Gate reports on an early morning incident in which a pedestrian was hit in the Sunset. The victim, a 63-year-old woman, suffered life-threatening injuries.
Steve Rubenstein reports.
The good ladies at Muni Manners have announced a transit photo contest. They’re calling for submissions from now until September 15. It doesn’t matter if you’re reading this from Bayview or Baton Rouge (I’m assuming there’s a bus system there) — the ladies are looking for shots of any system, including international ones.
We’ll most likely be linking to the final result, once it’s compiled. We’ll leave a page at the top of Muni Diaries with all the info you need. Tell your transit-riding friends!
SFGate.com reports that Muni service delayed on N-Judah and J-Church:
Muni bus shuttles will be used to try to ease delays on the light rail N-Judah and J-Church lines throughout the morning commute today, according to a Muni spokesman.
