People ARE the Problem

As any avid reader of this site (yes, all 2 of them) could tell you, in the recent years, there had been some question as to whether its chief author (me, morons), perhaps due to some unknown mental breakdown, was capable of producing anything but dubious and/or nonsensical rants about the horrendous failings of San Francisco's deplorable public transit system. Under no obligation to contradict this hypothesis, I will once again venture into this metaphorical cesspool to write about everyone's favorite use of tax dollars. Today's topic: systemic incompetence and bureaucratic idiocy cannot solely explain the true dreadfulness of MUNI; there is a much more insidious cause for our travails. Three anecdotes from recent weeks should be instructive.
