Double Decker Muni Bus!
On the same day that the Mayor said that his own ballot initiative to make MUNI efficient "85% of the time" was fanciful (!), he and the folks at MUNI also rolled out the Magic Double Decker Bus, which will start a trial run on December 12th on various routes.
Details of the routes served, etc. are avaiable at the MUNI/MTA website, if you're curious. I took a quick tour of the bus and it's very Las Vegas-y (the bus will be on loan to MUNI, then be delivered to Vegas). Personally I think they should run this on one of the steep lines, like the 1 California, and charge extra for the front row seats up top.
If and when I get a chance to actually ride it with real passengers, I'll post more fun photos!

I'd pay $3 to ride this as the 1 California.

HAHAAA! Thanks for the laugh at the thought of people riding the 1 like it's Splash Mountain.

Did you see the article in today's Chronicle about the new manager at higher salaries at our dear old beloved Muni? Just warms our little old hearts (NOT!) to think that more money is going out on those who sit in fancy offices and do nothing!
