Muni Diaries

Turns out Muni isn’t that easy to avoid.

After determining it was operating without the proper license, the California Public Utilities Commission has shut down private bus service Leap Transit, the pay-per-ride service that ferries commuters between the Marina and the Financial District allowing them to bypass the crowds and ickiness of Muni.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Leap had been granted its “authority to operate,” but didn’t yet have the proper license to run the bus line. Leap announced Tuesday that it has suspended its service after the CPUC sent the company a cease-and-desist letter.

The article cited a post on Leap’s Facebook page in which the company said it hopes to be “back on the road in no time.”

In the meantime Leap customers, guess we’ll be seeing you all on the bus.

Crews have finished the digging for the 1.7 mile Central Subway Tunnel, which will house the T-line in 2019. ABC7 took a tour of the tunnel and captured some amazing photos of your $241M at work.

An onsite engineer took the news crew through the tunnel (look for him in the photo below).

Check out the rest of the subterranean photo shoot (and video), and more on reporter Wayne Freedman’s Twitter feed  (@waynefreedman) too.
