Comments on: Should Muni launch a new bus route to help tech workers get to Caltrain faster? http://www.missionmission.org/2014/09/30/should-muni-launch-a-new-bus-route-to-help-tech-workers-get-to-caltrain-faster/ Saluting San Francisco's Mission District Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:29:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Leary http://www.missionmission.org/2014/09/30/should-muni-launch-a-new-bus-route-to-help-tech-workers-get-to-caltrain-faster/#comment-103412 Leary Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:46:09 +0000 http://www.missionmission.org/?p=56706#comment-103412 There are a lot of services in this city that are there to serve the needs of a small but still significant minority of the population.

Thousands of San Franciscans use Caltrain daily. To willfully refuse to link it properly with the city’s own transit system because FUCK TECHIES is some stupid shit indeed.

Now that’s narcissistic.

For most, traffic on 101 has to be _astronomically_ bad to get to the point that dealing with the glacial pace of MUNI to get to the Caltrain stop, then Caltraining it, and then taking _another_ shuttle from Caltrain, is actually better.

Of course, better MUNI service would provide more incentive to go this route. Hell, I support more public transit to just about anywhere at this point.

Oh, you mean like a alternate transportation system? The kind that people throw rocks and literally vomit all over because it’s separate from existing infrastructure? Wait..

The difference here is that the wealthy young techies of the Mission are so narcissistically impressed with themselves, they think the entire transprtation infrastructure should be reworked because they want it. MUNI serves the rest of the city, too. Lots of kids take the 48 to schools along the current route. I’d say use the 48 as it is, or use part of your generous salary to figure out an alternative for yourself. But FFS, quit trying to make yourself the most important thing in the City.

But commuting is nothing new, a lot of these folks were living here and commuting to the Peninsula long before you moved here.

I’ve always boggled at the location of the 22nd street station.

They already need to lengthen 22nd street in order to support the new 6-car trains. I wonder if it would be just cheaper to build a new platform at Chavez.

Based on what I can see on google maps, it looks like there is more than enough room.
