N-Judah with an aversion to westward travel

Last night, @sunaena alerted us to a bit of a mishap (intentional understatement) on the N-Judah. Here are her tweets:

9:09 p.m.: commotion in the N outbound.Door is stuck and power is out. Greaaaat!

9:16 p.m.: after rolling backwards for a sec the door has finally opened.


I’ve been on an M-Ocean View whose steps got stuck as they were being lowered (coming out of SF State and into Ingleside). We sat there, and sat there, and sat there, steps mid-retracted, doors flinging open and closed. Half of me wanted that Muni Metro car to go all Transformers, with me in it.

It’s never fun when Muni breaks. But sometimes we just have to make the most of our half-functional transit system.

Let us hear some of your more unusual breakdown stories in the comments.

A God’s-Eye View of Muni

Eric Fischer is up to no good again. Here, he’s posted an animated version of Muni vehicle movements for all of June 2010, with data provided by NextBus.

Why can’t I take my eyes off the 108-Treasure Island?

Can someone (or many of you) please set this to music and share with the rest of us? kthxbai
