We caught a 71 to downtown this morning, headed to around the ballpark. Hopped off at Van Ness to catch a T or an N. Then we waited for five minutes while a J sat in the station. After that five minutes, a voice came over the PA: "Attention MUNI customers - we are experiencing heavy traffic between Van Ness and the Embarcadero." Hey, at least we could understand the voice on the PA. That almost made it worth being kinda-late to work this morning. If you're about to head downtown, give yourself an extra twenty minutes.



Muni metro, one of favorite wasted money projects of all time. Just how much did we contract those idiots to install an automatic train control program that caused the classic meltdown?
