Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
The investigation is, as they say, ongoing.
Sixteen were hurt, and of those, 12 sent to the hospital. Of those, four are out as of today, three days after the event. Eight people in the hospital at least three days? As someone who has spent up to one week in a hospital, a) I don’t envy these people their stay, nor b) their injuries.
Sorry. I shouldn’t try to be cute in this space.
I was tipped off to a nice little blog about Muni etiquette last night. Hop on over to Muni Manners and learn a thing or two about how properly to ride the rails and routes.
And please, show some love.
Okay, I’m done.
Not the agency, but the streetcar that collided with another one Saturday afternoon near AT&T Park.
Between light-rail vehicle and a motorcycle, it seems. Ouch.
At Third and Evans.
Perhaps the answer to Tara’s post about the mysterious F dumping this morning on Market can be found in this story describing how, yet again, a car drove into the West Portal tunnel.
Automobile operators: In general, tracks are okay to drive on when they’re even with the surface of the road. Once that changes, and the rails rise up, and there is no road, you’ve gone too far.
You’re doing it wrong.
Thx: SFist.
SFGate reports that Muni is taking one of the service’s oldest streetcars to put it back to service on the F line!
From SFGate story:
“These cars touched people’s lives,” said Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the city’s Municipal Transportation Agency. “It’s more than steel wheels and steel frames and wooden seats. These cars took people home to their loved ones, they took them to the doctor, took them to school.”
Thx SFGate.
