Dear Mr. Ford
Sadly, our Muni driver is no longer with us, but that doesn't mean the questions won't keep coming. Reader RK sent us this last week and his completely frustrating experience is something we've all been through. And just why do they sometimes stop trains in the middle of the run anyways? And why can't drivers at least tell everyone why?
But we digress.
Dear Mr. Ford:
Is there someone up there who knows what they are doing, or is Muni run by the headless horseman? Does Mr. Ford read these comments?
Here is yesterday evening's story:
Thursday, 4/19/07 6 P.M. K Ingleside outbound. Waited 15 minutes for any outbound streetcar at Forest Hill, finally a K arrived. But at St. Francis Circle, the operator said he had to go inbound, and he said that another K was just behind. 20 people got off in the rain, including some very senior citizens, couldn't all fit under the small shelter (it would have been better to get off at West Portal). After a 15 minute wait, someone called Muni and was told that it would be another 10 minute wait. My wife walked home -- Junipero Serra to Ocean Avenue, saw a total of five inbound K's but no outbound K's over a one-half hour time period.
I mean, really, do they know where their million dollar trains are?
