I don’t condone this driver “ordering” a passenger to get them food. However, in defense of most Muni Operators’ the management has made it nearly impossible for them to get a break between runs. My husband is an operator and he is suppose to get 5-7 minutes between his runs at the terminals, however with traffic, weather, unruly passengers and other unforeseen delays it typically eats up his 5-7 minutes. But the time he gets to the terminal he has to turn around and head back out. Sitting on a bus for 7-9 hours without a break is unhealthy and unsafe! My husband also packs his own lunch:o)

@Charles Go through the MOU. If an individual calls in enough complaints in a period of time, those complaints can’t be used against a driver.

And to all those who think it’s unbelievable, ask the next supervisor you see about “702″ breaks. All a driver has to do to legitimize an unscheduled break is call central control. That’s it. Something to think about before you call 311.

The driver grabbing a dozen roses for someone at the Quintara and 19th Ave flower stand was sweet, but the coffee, sandwich, cigarette, or whatever grabbing drivers gets really annoying after a while, especially with no notice and the prospect of being late yet again. Asking someone to grab you some KFC is pretty unbelievable and unacceptable.

Call it in! A single complaint will not result in discipline. But a pattern will! Call it in! If you ride at the same time and see the same operator do the same thing repeatedly, call it in _everytime_. Keep a log! Give your contact info to 311! If they call you asking your presence at a hearing, _go to it_! Muni operators can and do get disciplined, but because the union insists on due process (which is reasonable!), you have to do the paperwork. Griping to a blog does nothing. Call it in!
