I was wondering too. Seemed to be hovering right over my 12-Folsom stop.
Update (seconds later): zinzin says “bomb squad 16th & Valencia,” and Christina confirms, “yup. they’ve blocked off the streets surrounding 17th and van ness and have (or had on my way to work this a.m.) pulled over a truck they think has explosives in it. There’s this little robot like guy scanning the car.”
Thanks, all!

bomb squad 16th & Valencia is what i heard this morning.
yup. they’ve blocked off the streets surrounding 17th and van ness and have (or had on my way to work this a.m.) pulled over a truck they think has explosives in it. There’s this little robot like guy scanning the car.

…I had just assumed it was more of the ‘Noise Pollution Paid For by Your Tax Dollars Week’…
One man’s noise pollution is another man’s BADASS FIGHTER JETS DOING BADASS BARREL ROLLS MERE YARDS FROM MY ROOF.
Jet noise = THE SOUND OF FREEDOM!
Who rides the 12-Folsom anyway? What, do you take it and transfer at the 3-Jackson? Pfffffftttt.
3-Jackson? Never heard of it. The 12 takes me from home to where I work, near South Park.
The 12 Folsom is by far the best bus in the city! At least for me. Stops right in front of my house, it’s clean, and i can always get a seat. Y’all can have the 14.
