MUNI Driver Quote of the Day

"Everybody wonders why there are accidents....[extended pause]....THE TRAIN IS FULL! I am closing the doors for your safety."

Aboard another stuffed-to-the-brim rush-hour train, the driver came over the intercom and spoke this gibberish to the riders.

Please, explain to me how this is our fault. Also, how do packed light rails cause trains to de-rail? Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, it's the driver's responsibility to insure the safety of the passengers and the vehicle. Now, if a train can't operate properly when stuffed (as it always is in the early morning and evening hours) then they shouldn't be made that way!

First MUNI punishes us by increasing our fares twice in less than one year (don't even get me started on the service decreases) and now they're trying to pass off their safety woes onto our laps! Come on now, ease up!
