Transit Picnic, Yum!

Imagine a wonderful, delicious future in which the 38-Geary runs as smoothly and quickly as a train; speeding along in its own lanes without squidging in and out of traffic. Oh what a dream! And it's not so far-off: planning is well underway on a Bus Rapid Transit system that'll feature "fancy new buses, dedicated lanes, timed signals, more parking, and a safer and more beautiful walking environment, with pre-paid boarding and new stations!"

You probably want to know more about this amazing vision, don't you? Yes, you do. Luckily, there's a picnic happening TODAY, hosted by SPUR (the always-correct urban planning group) as thanks to Jake McGoldrick for supporting the project. It's happening at the Rossi Playground (on Arguello near Anza) from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. You can take the 33 there, or at least, you would be able to if it wasn't Pride weekend and Muni wasn't totally fouling up that particular bus route because they don't know how to orchestrate a simple detour. See you there!
