Your Commute

See, we're not the only people with server problems -- All MUNI K, L, and M trains are stuck after an unspecified "electrical problem" in the tunnel between West Portal and the Castro right before 8:00 a.m. forced MUNI to stop those three train lines so they could send in workers into the tunnel to fix the situation. The dreaded above-ground bus service will be shuttling people to the Castro, at which point we expect all trains to be JAMTIGHTPACKED. MUNI spokeman Alan Siegel said that there were most likely" going to be delays throughout the system as a result. Nuh-uh!

Huh, when Ted Stevens said the Internet was a series of tubes, we didn't think he meant it so literally -- Caltrain announced that it successfully tested high-speed wireless Internet connectivity on its trains. They don't have a launch date for it yet, but are hoping to get it installed in all the trains along all 77 miles of the SF-SJ axis within a year.

And for those of you along Geary Street, please note that 38 and 38L-Geary bus service has been rerouted for the funeral procession of Officer Nick Tomasito Birco at St. Mary's, starting from 8 a.m. today. Birco was killed last week while attempting to stop a vanful of fleeing burglars.
