I read this letter to the editor on the San Francisco Chronicle site and sort of felt the pain of this disgruntled commuter. I thought it was worth sharing for all the MUNI riders out there, and for those who just want to read a justifiably bitter letter. The MUNI does need to get its act together. Especially the metro lines. Enjoy!
Muni service? No!
Editor – Why is Muni so ridiculed? In a word, ineptness. After taking public transit to the fireworks display at Aquatic Park, was there a bus to be had by anyone leaving? No.
Did someone consider turning all the buses around to face away from the festivities and be ready for the thousands who left at 10 p.m.? No. Did I walk with those same thousands in the middle of Van Ness Avenue because there was no room on the sidewalks? Yes. Did I walk to Bush Street in approximately 25 minutes and notice that not one bus had come by in that time? Yes. Did I then flag a taxi and go home disgusted? Yes.
