»In which we party on MUNI (not)

Tonight is a MUNI MUNI Metro Party flash mob dealie.
I do not like MUNI. While walking about to the much-changed Magnolia (new chef, new menu, fewer sauces for the frites), one of my companions, a visitor from Seattle remarked on how fortunate San Franciscans are: "You don't know how lucky you are, with these quiet electric buses." I told him about the off-spec diesel monsters that MUNI half-assedly took delivery of to run on the 71L route, the same buses that whine past our corner at 80 dB. I complained about MUNI, about the intermittent service, about how one can't rely on MUNI to get from point A to point B in less time than walking.
I do not like MUNI, and the service worsens year to year. MUNI faces continuing budget problems, and still fails to address its core scheduling problems.
