Dear Mr Ford
Warning: Contains loud profanity, so depending on where you work...
SFist Cedric took this video last week on the 6 Parnassus. In his words:
The female voice in the soundtrack paid $1, not $1.50 and got upset when she did not get a transfer, because she "had no change." She later paid up the difference. The driver, aka "punk ass white boy" let her on the bus, up to that point. In this situation, the driver only reacts to the abuse of the customer. I did not want to be too obvious shooting the scene, thus the foot.
Ced, we'd look at your foot while a Muni driver swears at an abusive passenger any day of the week!
After the jump: Diamond Lane Disaster!
Jennifer over at Mental Hijinks pointed us toward her post on the diamond lane.
...as any SF denizen knows, nothing in this city works in the strictly technical sense! And in my opinion as both a driver and experienced public transport passenger (in cities across the world), here in San Francisco, the problem begins with the buses, with their dangerous and unpredictable swerving out into traffic (and I'm talking about the driving lane) after picking up passengers; their slow driving so they block not just the bus lane but the driving lane too; their slowing down at green lights about to turn yellow (because hey, we all know they're not in a rush); and their erratic schedules, which mean the dedicated bus lanes are often completely underutilized for spans of 45 minutes at a time.
See her entire post here. And what about you? Any Muni stories to share?
