A sea of people
The commute in was interesting today. I took the bus from the pad to the MUNI station in the Castro. That went normally; plenty of room and seats for everyone.
When I got to the station, though, the platform was a solid mass of people running the length of the waiting area.
I let one full train go by before I decided to elbow my way into the next car, also totally packed.
I ended up riding all the way to Embarcadero (where I transfer to BART) wedged up into a corner by the door, my left arm in an awkward, almost-dislocated position.
That said, I still like living somewhere with public transportation.
Did they look like they were headed for eBay Live? :-p
(Or was that the normal Thursday traffic?)
It was by far the largest morning crowd I’ve seen so far.
Coming home, I’ve transferred at Embarcadero a few times just after 5pm when the throngs were that massive, but that’s to be expected at the downtown station that’s the start of almost every MUNI run.
I was surprised to run into it at a station in the middle of the city at a time after what I’d have guessed to be the morning rush.
Though there was this crazy guy that kept shouting about “no reserve”…
My man, you haven’t really travelled by train until you’ve done this.
