Public Transit Peace Terrorists, Or How I Manage on MUNI.

  Calling attention to yourself is not new to terrorism.  Leaked videos and intercepted communications are par for the jihadist course. Regimes and governments use this information to their advantage; and to deter or prevent civil unrest. In the case of groups like Anonymous and No Justice, No BART, they are no more than iterations of the lack of values of certain groups of passive-aggressive individuals. Free speech doesn't come at the cost of shutting down a region's busiest transit corridor during rush hour.

1-California Cheats on The Richmond, Prefers Forest Hill

  Upon exiting Forest Hill Station yesterday, I encountered an apparent lost bus.  I notified the Muni operator of the error and he informed me that sometimes the new LED placards go, "All like crazy and shit." I responded, "I like kinda think, like, they should like, do something about it, ya know?" 

  I then told told him about similes, to which he responded, "Thanks, I like, try and take care of my teeth?!"

via (ciaranwills) I see MUNI's propaganda campaign continues.  Now their reaching tech-savvy Sunset teens with their adorably Orwellian conveyance control device.  Clever, girl.

With the Central Subway in jeopardy of losing much of it's federal funding, this report (download .pdf) by the Civil Grand Jury exacted a Father Nelson (two half-nelsons while humping from behind) to the SFMTA for a project that is now projected to cost $1.578 billion. Charged with evaluating the real conditions as they exist now, the Grand Jury raised issues about how the Central Subway's poor design has no connection to the rest of the MUNI Metro system, the SFMTA's track record on accurately estimating project budgets; and also raised concerns about how the SFMTA has spent money it already had. In a city whose General Fund has been rode hard and put away wet in recent years, isn't time to take care of our hole, before going out and getting fucked?
