SIC TRANSIT GLORIA

Is public transportation
a business or a service? President of the Board asked why we couldn’t run BART like his PGE. Twenty years later that’s a tee-hee-hee. At least we didn’t burn down San Bruno or Paradise. MUNI got the same complaints over & over & over: The bus/streetcar/cable car was late. Never showed. Kid couldn’t graduate. You’re too tardy and slow. To answer, instead, we instructed via Public Information Letters, PILS for short to dispense with the belly- aching. First, apologize. Second, give an overview: Line delay, wires down, Equipment/operator shortage. Third, end with the bromide: May your future travels be pleasant and uneventful, Enclose a token for a free ride. Sign.
