Because of road works and a diversion, Muni had to use XT40s with their off-wire capability for months. I'm not sure passengers (as opposed to transit geeks) are going to be happy with high-floor ETIs returning to their route. You gotta point. But since Potrero still needs to run the ETIs, the 6 is really the only route now since the 30 needs all the XT40s ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's sightings... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that the system has relied heavily on big levels of overtime. Have Presidio drivers banned overtime working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew The Muni Rider Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 On 5/22/19, I found 8966 sitting at a bus stop with the back part open. I don't know why this happened. The driver was able to move the bus forward a little. Here are some pictures of the engine. Here is a video of it: I also saw 8956 with a green background on the front sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
