Yeah, every time the yellow bus passes me, it’s pretty darn empty. I think a little promotion might help.

Dunno that even promotion would help much. A healthy smattering of tourists may use it on the weekdays and weekends, but the rest of us use the lines that, like, go by our house to get to places within Golden Gate Park. Or, some of us in the Richmond make a nice walk of it. Seems like a good-intentioned idea that won’t really go anywhere.

It’s a 39-Coit for the rest of us!

Yeah it passes my block and it’s almost always empty. It’s there for the tourists, and they don’t like to be on crowded buses. I wish they’d improve existing lines before they go making useless ones.
