Another grand meltdown in a long tradition of grand meltdowns struck Muni's N-Judah and J-Church lines during the evening commute Wednesday, and problems persist system-wide as of this morning, causing many in this city to alternately rage, shake a futile fist at the sky, and quietly die inside while unable to get anywhere.
Last night's problems were due to a faulty overhead wire somewhere, likely near the tunnel exit at Church Street, causing both the N-Judah (in both directions) and the outbound J-Church to be delayed or totally useless. Muni was running shuttle buses from Van Ness, which were also running this morning along the N line.
The "express" shuttle buses were apparently not that effective, or express this a.m., as evidenced by Twitter (see below). At least one person documented a backup of four trains unable to leave Embarcadero Station at 9 a.m. this morning.
Hoepfully things will be functional again by the time everyone who arrived late this morning has to get home tonight. #goodluck
If you were a fan of last night's epic #NJudah delay, you're going to love what #muni has in store for you this morning. #munifail

Been on "N Express" bus for 20 minutes and am not even past GGP. Is @sfmta_muni covering our lost wages too? @supervisortang #muni #sfmuni

@sf311 I'm canceling my #Muni pass. Monthly fee going up, yet service stays abysmal? Not like @sfmta_muni acts accountable to riders anyway
