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.

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.

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.

Founded by Google as an internal self-driving project in 2009, Waymo ("a new way forward in…read moremobility") was spun off as an independent subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. in 2016. It began public tests in 2017 in the Phoenix Area, removing safety drivers in 2020. In November 2024, it launched commercial driverless operations in the DTLA and Santa Monica areas with general public availability. I finally had a chance to use it with my brother, during a DTLA stay in late August of '26. It was a lot of fun. We were staying at the LA Athletic Club, so ended up using the nearby Metro station to go to various places around LA. So on this Saturday, we found ourselves outside of Wi Spa at the eastern outskirts of K-Town, needing to get back to the hotel. We had taken the train/walked here and could have easily done it again, but instead took Waymo. I had prepared the previous day by downloading the app (it looks and behaves similar to Uber). It required the customary phone number validation by text, and defaulted to Apple Pay (though one can also add other credit cards). Then it was a simple matter of hailing a ride, just like Uber/Lyft. There is no opportunity to choose the type of car...everything is meant for up to 4 people. It was accurate in stating that a car would be here in under 5 minutes, and showed where the car would stop. Sure enough, it slowly came around the corner, and I have to admit I was super excited that a robot car was coming to pick us up, all for just $19.33. The app had asked if I wanted to partake in a trial where the car doors automatically when the phone's bluetooth is close...since I was busy taking video on my phone, I said 'Sure'. It didn't work...so I had to fumble to find the app, and press the 'unlock' button. My brother sat in the passenger seat, and I sat in the back. We had no luggage so don't know how the trunk process works. Currently, up to four passengers (3 in back, 1 in front) can be taken (later learned that the car will stop if it detects more than 4 people), where the empty driver's seat is not allowed to be used. I continued to take video as the car pulled out, but then the car stopped with a piercing ring, until I clicked my seatbelt. The car was a fully electric, Jaguar I-PACE HSE SUV (AI states that the base is a 75k car, with another 80k in add-ons....pretty sure Waymo is losing money hand over fist during this ramp up period). The drive itself was very similar to a good Uber driver, not going particularly slow as I had feared. I was actually hoping for some unusual events (e.g. getting cut off or side swiped, pedestrians in the wrong place, or hearing emergency sirens) to see how Waymo would react, but it was a pretty even keel ride. The app can be used to control the climate and radio stations, and the two displays clearly indicate where you are and how close you are to your destination. It did warn us to listen for a beep if a bicyclist or another car was getting close as we exited. There was no opportunity to tell it to drop us off at our preferred entrance, and it definitely did double park while letting us off. Of course, we had to see it off, which it did after a few moments. There was no survey to submit, or any opportunity to give a tip. It very much reminded me of my first time taking an Uber, afterwards thinking 'This is going to change a lot of things'. This was our one good opportunity to use Waymo during our stay, as its coverage area did not include Boyle Heights. It was kinda cool to see a fleet of them come to the Expo Park area right after the LAFC match, picking up gamegoers. Later that night, we could have taken it back to our hotel from K-Town late Saturday (when the trains stopped running), but the price was quite a bit higher than a Lyft...so chose the latter instead. Also I noted that the cars are not yet allowed to go on the highway, so any longer trip from someplace like Santa Monica to DTLA will definitely take longer (at least when the I-10 isn't backed up). Recently (August 2026), California approved Waymo's expansion plans, making it available across 18 state counties. Will definitely use it again whenever we need a rideshare and prices are comparable.
