I'm so tired of complaining about MUNI, voting on ballot measures that are supposed to help fix the problems, etc. It never gets better.<BR/><BR/>I arrived home yesterday after 2 weeks away. No problems with my flights or BART or Caltrain. The last two miles on MUNI were just awful. One-car trains on a Sunday featuring Folsom Street Fair and the final Giants game of the year, against the Dodgers. Surely they could anticipate that a two-car train on some of the KLM routes might possible be useful. Instead, we get a one-car K that is so packed many of us are left standing, followed by a one-car L with one set of doors broken (so no one will move into that part of the car lest they get trapped).Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258490572969237544noreply@blogger.com
