Breaking news from SF Appeal: Truck/T-Third Collision at 3rd and 22nd.
The T-Third collided with a big rig today a little after 3 p.m. on the corner of Third and 22nd streets. The street has been reopened. Eight people required hospitalization, according to SF Appeal.
Tasha from Double Fine Productions illustrates a little Muni etiquette:
Thanks, Muni rider Jeremy K and Gabe at Double Fine!

The 49. Inbound at 8:45. The bus makes its stop and this guy in wheelchair asks to get off. The driver is kind enough to push him toward the lift but the guy starts bitching him out. He lets the guy go on his own and the guy makes it to the lift. He then proceeds to fuck around in the lift and flip his chair, wedging it in the railing. The bus driver had to stop the bus and call an inspector so they wouldn’t get sued. We walked from there. The guy was still bitching.
If you’ve been stuck, had to walk, or have any other tales from Muni or BART, send it to us.
Something nasty happening in the western half of town, as reported on Twitter. Some choice Tweets:
njudah YIKES! Folks, if you’re downtown and need to get home, just plan on MUNI being a big hassle…get a coffee or a cocktail and wait it out.
munidiaries looks pretty ugly out west: http://is.gd/n5QA
AgentNano Looks like there are also delays on MUNI with the N-Judah. Bus Bridge in place between Ocean Beach and at least Sunset, maybe 19th.
rowenoftc Sad N-Judah fail in progress. http://twitpic.com/21fh3
AgentNano MUNI underground 15-30 minute delays on the outbound K, L, M, and T lines, due to equipment problems.
jonsnyder Been stuck underground on the N for like 30 min now. What’s up?
If you know more, or have stories of getting stuck in the fracas, let us know in comments.
Is there a passenger quota on buses? What is Muni doing to improve its on-time performance? How can we get cleaner buses? Why does the back door never open when I want to get off but always opens when people are cheating the fare? And what was that red puddle on the 14?
These are just some of the questions percolating in our comments section, in our Twitter feed, and on our minds as we ride the bus every day. We know there are a ton more questions out there, so we asked Judson True, SFMTA’s media relations manager, for a little one-on-one. He will be answering some of your most pressing questions in his first Muni Diaries interview. So, what do you want to know?
We will be taking your questions and some of our own, so tell us what you want to know in the comments section by next Friday, March 20, or email us at muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com.
Stay tuned!
