Mission Mission

The 49 Van Ness-Mission seems to have plowed into a bus shelter. The tip and photos come from reader Blake via his friend Renna’s Facebook page. He says “One comment reminded that this is yet another reason to not eat at Farolito. Truth.”

Yikes. Anyone else see this? Hoping nobody was hurt.

(thanks, Blake!)

UPDATE: Commenter “Mulch” says “I was on the bus. No injuries. I talked to a guy who had just got up from the shelter. He said the bus just suddenly swerved into the curb. It also hit the light post right in front of it.”

More updates in the comments, including the guy from the shelter.

Hey look at all these professionals walking down Market Street around Van Ness and Civic Center!  It’s finally turning into that mainstream walkable avenue the city was looking for when it closed Market to private vehicular transportation.  That was quick!  All hail our European transformation!

Oh, what’s that?  This is just the epic procession of passengers forced to go above ground due to the latest Muni Fail?  Ah, I should have guessed from the body language of the woman front and center.  You can almost hear her wailing, “Why Muni?  Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?????”  I’m not the only one who’s thinking it’s times like this when I’m happy I ride a bike to work!
