We Have a Winner

Yes, the Official Worst MUNI Line contest is over, and we have a wiener. It's the 22 Fillmore with almost 1/3rd of the vote. We have to consider that a bit of an upset as most of the comments we got bemoaned the hells of the 38 Geary more than the 22. On the other hand, we've all experienced the joys of the 22. We once had a job interview near California and Fillmore and after taking the bus from the Mission to the California stop, we realized we could commute to Oakland by BART in half the time.

As you can see, the 38 Geary tied with the 30 Stockton in another big of a surprise as the 38 was leading for most of the week. Maybe it was all the talk about the Central Subway that reminded people nothing can match the 30 for it's combination mind-crushing slowness, claustrophobic crowdedness, and body checking old ladies.

You know, we got so many entries in this, we're kind of wishing we did an NIT tournament. Or hell, maybe come March, we'll do the worst MUNI line bracket style. That'll be fun.

And yes, starting next week, we'll start up with something different,-- the Best MUNI Line contest.
