I understand that for some Muni bus lines, especially ones that aren't major lines, it might be a longer wait on weekends, but waiting around 30 minutes for a muni bus no matter what day of the week it is, is acceptable, especially now with all the construction that's going on in the city, and how much traffic there is pretty much in all parts of the city nowadays. Muni needs to do something with the 52. Have more 52 buses available on weekends, run buses more frequently (instead of every 30 min, maybe every 10-15 min.), etc. But yes, not really a big fan of the 52 bus.

The Bayshore Caltrain Station is a simple no-frills train station in an industrial area. There is a…read moresmall parking lot where you can park and ride for $5.50 all day. If parking is a bigger deal to you I've heard the 22nd Street Station (one stop from here closer to San Francisco) has more residential street parking. There's one lane for trains going to San Francisco and another going to San Jose. If you're taking the southbound train, you'll have to take the stairs or elevator and cross the bridge. Note that they do not have restrooms. Depending on which zone you're getting on and off will determine the price that you pay. Just remember that you need to pay before you board. You can scan your Clipper card at their kiosks or buy one on-site. Pro tip: if you have an iPhone you can set up a digital transit card and refill your transit card with your credit card. It's not located in the best part of town but as long as you stay alert of your surroundings and avoid being here at night as much as possible, you should be fine.

Glen Park is my BART station. I mean it is the closest to my house in San Francisco. But beyond…read morethat, I claim it aesthetically. I am not alone either, as others have praised it for its Brutalism. The style is not one I favor generally. The Embarcadero, which isn't even pure Brutalism, displays its flaws. It is deliberately off putting and inspiring of human distress. Or if not intentional then with reckless disregard of the needs of most persons for an assurance they are welcomed and valued. The architectural school, however, is enjoying a renaissance because of how it photographs. The massed concrete and simple forms look great and even profound rendered as social media squares the size of thumbnails. The discipline is evident. The John Wick like commitment to a vision more or less indifferent to emotional yearnings for a sense of community. If you have any interest, then, in seeing a magnificent example of the maligned movement, this is worth a stop. If you are a street photographer, it is a half hour well spent. But if you are just commuting back and forth, it is another station in a vast system. As they go, it performs its function. A work friend was shocked to learn people review anything other than restaurants on this platform. I regard it as a good use of Yelp to do so. Perhaps this will help out an aspiring architect or a photographer with this interest.

It just seemed like that, but at the same time, every thing on the bus was moving extra slow and trippy. This had nothing to do with how I was feeling. Finally I pulled the stop cord, thinking we'd stop by my house. NO. The stop he was going for was mega far from where I thought it would be, and it ended up that the stop I thought I was going to use was on the other side of the street, which I found out when I walked far up a hill and saw the stop- I've never seen that stop before. I'm still learning the routes. Anyways, I hope I get to ride with this guy again, it was a real carnival style thrill. Best bus ride so far.

I ride from Forest Hill Station to the Glen Park BART Station, or the other way around. I have done this more times than I can count. The only two reasons I can think of that one might not avail one's self of bus service, other than prejudice, are safety and efficiency. As for safety, I have not had any issues, nor witnessed anything amiss. It's a bus. It has the full range of humanity. But there is nothing to worry about. That is assuming you're comfortable with the concept to begin with (and if you're not, I judge not, but I would encourage you to give this a try); other than the buses in the upper NW of Washington, D.C., this is probably the most innocuous route I have ridden. As for efficiency, the buses run often. I have never waited so long as to have become impatient and summoned an Uber. That is not true of all MUNI lines. I also ride the 6 -- if it is coming when I need it, and, if not, I hike up a 400 foot ascent over about a mile, which is good exercise.

Patients with dialysis or even in wheelchairs, it is unprofessional to let patients wait more than 1 hour for the hospital van to show to take them back home when you're scheduled to be driven back home. Even when you call the phone number to get a hold of a dispatcher to see where the drivers are, 8 out of 10 times, you are either placed on hold for more than 30 minutes or nobody ever answers. I am taking this matter to higher management as well with MV Transportation and demand your services to be improved for the weak and sick patients that pay to be treated by your facility. I am not happy with your services.

I won't go into the long, complicated history of Muni's 15 bus, mostly because I don't remember…read more But back in the day, there was an easy way to remember which Muni bus lines went through Chinatown: The multiples of 15. So the 15, the 30, and the 45 all went through Chinatown. When the T-Third Street came into existence in 2007, I believe they got rid of the 15--or was it the 10-Townsend?--because it duplicated much of the T-Third's route. But that's not really true, since the T-Third wouldn't extend all the way to Chinatown until January 2023, but there was duplication on 3rd Street. Wait, wait, wait! I said I wouldn't go into that history. The 15-Bayview Hunters Point Express has a long, complicated name, but it serves a very important purpose: namely, efficiently transporting passengers from Bayview to the Financial District, and vice versa. Yes, its service is redundant, as most of its line shares the T's line on 3rd Street, but the T-Third runs at grade, meaning that it has to deal with all the same cross streets and signals as regular cars and buses do, at least along 3rd Street, so the 15 is often faster than the T, at least for short trips on 3rd Street. I often use the 15 and T interchangeably. If I'm on 3rd Street and I need to go north or south, I pull up NextBus and find out which one is coming first. I hop on that one. The 15 is also useful for when they're doing service work on the T or if there's any kind of track issue that backs trains up along the line. The 15's bus stops are generally past the street of its intersections, which is mainly true of the T-Third's stations, so it's easy enough to wait for either train or bus right at the corner. You'll definitely be able to see the train long enough ahead of time to cross the street to the station entrance.

I like taking a Waymo! I was initially very resistant (and still pretty sure I wouldn't want to go…read moreon the freeway) but I've taken multiple trips now and love it when I'm tired and I don't want to small talk with Uber/Lyft drivers or other passengers. And since you don't have to tip it costs about the same. Initially the cars were always spotless, and you got dropped off/picked up where you wanted. But of course now I've been in some awfully dirty Waymos and I've had some issues with pick up/drop off in busy locations-most typically where SFMTA has messed everything up. Uber/Lyft just do whatever they want and stop wherever (blocked traffic be damned,) but Waymo appears to be making nice with SFMTA. So sometimes I have to walk a few blocks which sucks when I'm on crutches. Also the seats in back don't really fold down so I don't recommend using a Waymo to move. Yeah I tried it. It's hard to fit big stuff in a Waymo. I'm sure that's by design. Maybe someday there will be a Waymo box truck...just hoping.

Trying to be fair to our local cab businesses, I called to get a pick up from another cab company (Yellow Cab).. 10 minutes pass and there is no cab. Called back and the operator said the dispatcher was still trying to find a cab in my area for the pick up. Another 5 minutes pass and still nothing. Just about to request a car through an app (from one of those easy-peasy car services), I notice a red & white vehicle (a Veteran's cab) flash by and I raise my arm. The taxi driver was pretty sharp and he looped around the block and lickety-split, he's back in front of me and my companion. We have some stuff to move from Point A to Point B so we don't just hop into the vehicle. The taxi driver sees that this is the case and he gets out of the car and helps us load items (including a big box) into the trunk. Off we go. The driver knows these streets and he zips up 9th Street where the lights are timed. Good thinking! Along the way he chats about what events are going on in the City today and the neighborhood which we are passing through (the Tenderloin). He comments about the rise in car break-in crime in the TL; owners of buildings who have to repeatedly paint over the graffiti that cover their neat, uniform exteriors. He says it's so sad that the City has these things happening. Having an easy going nature, the taxi driver follows my directions to navigate to Point B (stay in the right lane, cross this street, make a right on that one, turn left at the next intersection, pull over to the left-hand side). Once we arrive at Point B, the taxi driver gets out of the car, opens my door so I can easily exit and carries the big box we had stowed in the trunk to the front door. Easy dealings to pay him the fare. Mister Taxi Driver of cab# 1512, thanks for a positive experience in your vehicle! So courteous to help with the big box! I want to have faith that there are good, hard-working taxi drivers out there. Now I know there still are! Have a great weekend Mister Taxi Driver and hope you have many more positive experiences in your taxi cab lifetime! And, hope you Yelpers come across this taxi driver yourself. He was a real sweetheart.
