While I'm holding out for the Big Dig-style tunnel under Van Ness, I'll go ahead and try the 19 from time to time, that's a good idea. I actually work up in Fisherman's Wharf and could stand to have as many alternate routes on hand (if the 9x, the 10 or the F all fail me, which has happened). Ha!

These are the tradeoffs for making parts of the city pretty, I suppose. It's been a few years since anyone suggested putting a Big Dig-style tunnel under Van Ness, though. That might be fun!

And the N got me going and coming. The 49 got me going, and the 30 got me coming. And the N got me going and coming.

We hopped the 43 on Haight street, which dropped off at the marina green. Luckily, a friend drove us home. Traffic was a nightmare getting out of there. I remember thinking to myself, "man, i'm glad i'm not on the bus right now." It was easy getting there. We hopped the 43 on Haight street, which dropped off at the marina green.

It's exactly why SF is horribly equipped to handle big-name events. And this is just Fleet Week, that's not even counting the Olympics someone thought would be a good idea. For the record, we walked 3.3 miles. It was actually a nice walk with nice weather, which is usually the case in SF - silver lining for us locals who rely on their own feet half the time?

It was somewhat crowded yesterday but I've seen worse during weekday rush hour.
