Remember mid-June, when we posted video of a driver pulling over and wandering into Walgreen's to do some errands? There's new news to report! Well, actually, there isn't -- Muni has just officially admitted that they failed to capture any data relating the to incident.
We submitted a report to Muni about it (it's number 226478, in case you care); meanwhile, Sunshine-champion Kimo Crossman requested that Muni turn over footage from the bus in question.
For a week and a half, nothing happened.
We got a reply from Muni on the 27th. This is the extent of the response Muni will provide to a passenger; to get anything further, you have to do a Sunshine request.
And then finally, last Friday, Muni responded to Kimo: they can't figure out which bus the incident occurred on -- and who can blame them, given the limited details? (11:45am on the Westbound 33 at 18th and Castro driven by a heavyset African American woman.) They were able to narrow it down to three different buses, though: two of them had broken cameras. The third bus had a working camera -- but after they viewed the tape, Muni deleted it! By accident! Totally by accident, they swear!
Muni conveyed most of that info in a form email; and then at the end, the font changes to a teeny tiny little script, as if Emily Litella wrote the closing words: "As a result, the MTA has no records responsive to your request."
Another jorb well done, Muni!
