Muni Alert: Get Out of Town, and Stay Out

You know how the Bay Bridge is going to be closed on this Labor Day weekend? And how that means there'll be fewer car-trips into San Francisco? A reasonable person might assume that that'll mean an increased demand for public transit -- but Muni's response to that is, "reasonable people? What on Earth are those?"

Not only is Muni not adjusting service levels to accommodate the bridge closure, they're actually reducing service levels on one of the days. On Monday, Sept 3rd, a bunch of lines will be suspended altogether; and every single remaining line will be operating on a reduced schedule. Of course, this info hasn't gone out to the press; you'd only know about it if you subscribe to Muni's RSS feed. You do subscribe, don't you?

Of course, they're doing this so that they don't have to pay overtime on Labor Day, which is very much in keeping with the spirit on that particular holiday. Good thinking, Muni! Another jorb well done!

Here's a list of Monday's canceled lines: 1AX, 1BX, 4, 7, 9AX, 9BX, 9X, 10, 14L, 14X, 28L, 31AX, 31BX, 38AX, 38BX, 38L, 41, 80X, 81X, 82X, 88.
