Just Kidding on the N-Judah

Brady posted this anecdote on yesterday’s post about N-Judah weekend service changes. She’s a quirky one, the N.

You’ll love yesterday’s N adventure. We get to Castro right before the tunnel, and the driver announces (after being stalled for 20 minutes): “My supervisor says all of you have to get off and I have to turn back to pick up more people.”

We all get off the train, it’s 8:30 am. After 5 minutes he opens the doors and says: “Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on here. My supervisor now understands it’s rush hour and we shouldn’t do that. Another supervisor overrode him. You may get back on.”

Some sense in the WTF fog, then. See also: SIKE.

Heads up: Starting next Friday, Muni will suspend weekend light-rail service on the N-Judah line between Ocean Beach and Church and Duboce. Sorry, people, they said they have to, as they work on two rail-improvement projects. Bus shuttles will take the place of streetcars from 8 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays along this stretch of the N-Judah’s route.

For more information on the service interruption, see SFMTA’s website.

N-Judah, the Most Accident-Prone Muni Line?

The N-Judah has just been found to be the most accident-prone Muni line, according the San Francisco Examiner.

The line, which carries passengers from Ocean Beach to the Caltrain station on Fourth and King streets, was involved in 84 collisions between 2008 and 2011, making it far more accident-prone than the five other Muni train lines.

The Examiner collected data from 2008 to 2011. But there may be a reason that the N-Judah has the most number of accidents, according to the SFMTA. From the Examiner:

The N-Judah carries more people and requires more service than any other Muni line, which is one reason it has so many accidents, said spokesman Paul Rose of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. He said the agency is seeking ways to make the line safer, and he noted that accidents have dropped for the past three years.

An N-Judah/Prius Sandwich

Muni rider Andrew sends this dispatch from Carl and Willard around 10 a.m.:

Looks like Muni is at it again (or in this case, may actually be the victim!). A car has become wedged between an outbound N Judah train and a parked car. Although nobody wanted to discuss what actually happened, it looks as though the grey [sic] car tried to take a right onto Carl st directly in front of an oncoming N Judah. Bummer.

Bummer indeed. And bummer that no Muni employees could explain what happened to Andrew. Anyone else have more info on this?

Video: Live Rickroll on Muni

One comment

Not sure how we could have missed this on Halloween but check it out: “Two guys. One girl. One dream. To real-life rickroll an entire city on Halloween.”

Are we all familiar with the idea of rickroll? Here it goes:

“When Jason put the boombox above his head, it played 5 seconds of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” (per Say Anything) and then suddenly jumped to “Never Gonna Give You Up.” My costume was modified to be tear-away, and I was Rick Astley underneath. Boom. Real life rickroll.”

These guys did it all over town, and of course the N and L got rickrolled properly! Check out the video. Props to @SaraMurphy for sending this video our way … and in effect, rickrolling us, too!
