Welcome to TDMR!

It is my belief that most San Franciscans can agree on one thing--the city's public transit system is horrible.

Really, the most reliable aspect of MUNI is its unreliability. Frequent riders face everything from delays to breakdowns and uncomfortably overcrowded trains to outrageous fare increases. And that's just the beginning.

Everyone I know has a story about something they've seen on a bus or train (most often something someone has done or said). So, that's what gave me the idea for this blog. As a regular MUNI rider I have to depend on the undependable and therefore put myself in a position for not only constant disappointment, but also constant entertainment (and sometimes livid irritation) of the riders aboard this city's pathetic means of mass transportation.

That being said, I do understand how fortunate I should feel to have a way to get around the city without the expense of a car. But, is it that hard to ask that it be functional? And more than that, why can't it strive to be exceptional? Think about how many thousands of people use MUNI as their main means of getting around in this city...and further, think about how much time they spend doing that...it adds up my friend.

After several years of putting up with MUNI and all the pain and heartache it has caused me, I'm now ready to lash out--and take my anger to the cyber-streets.

TDMR, Tales of Disastrous MUNI Rides, now serves as an outlet to express MUNI related frustration. Let the ranting begin.
