Muni can do some things right.
It took a panel of experts …
SFGate reports:
“One year ago, Mayor Gavin Newsom convened a panel of transportation and financial experts to hammer out a plan to find more money for the city’s struggling Municipal Railway transit system.
Today, with the group’s work nearly complete, the most politically plausible recommendations that emerged fall short of what’s needed to make significant service improvements anytime soon.”
More.
We’re waiting, Muni. And we’re watching.
And what the hell is an APTA Rail Rodeo? Well, funny you should ask:
Saturday, May 31 marks the 16th year for the International Rail Rodeo Competition, which highlights the best rail operators and maintenance teams from across North America. Competitors, selected from local and state competitions, will compete to be crowned champion.

Muni went and hit some peeps.
Details are sketchy, but apparently early Saturday a woman was struck by a 71-Noriega at Market and Sixth. She was taken to General, but died from her injuries.
Then, Monday, a 12-Folsom struck a ped near Howard and Embarcadero. This accident was apparently originated with a car running a red light and cutting off the bus, which caused the 12 to strike the walker.
His condition is not known.
It should be noted that cause is not known in either of these incidents, but that extra caution is called for by pedestrians and bus operators.
Thx: SFist and The Examiner.
