Thanks Zippy! I didn't even go to the Examiner.com site to look ... past frustrations and all. :)

Oops ... I should clarify, my understanding is that it was NOT the Muni driver that ran a red light. It was some woman driving an older model Lexus that ran into the bus, and the collision with the bus then spun the Lexus car out of control and the car hit a pedestrian (not the bus). That's according to today's Examiner on Page 8 anyway (I've given up trying to find links on their web site)

My guess is that the driver of the 12-line was running late (as usual) and was trying to make a light or just make up some time and hence caused the accident. It seems as though the 12-line is very inconsistent, whether due to traffic or too many stops along the route. All I know is that every morning, safe money is on betting that the bus can show up at any time and rarely on time.

Wow ... not only did the driver manage run a red light and hit a bus, but his or her car also, according to The Examiner, spun out of control and hit a pedestrian.
