I live in the heart of San Francisco and don&#8217;t own a car.  So, I&#8217;m always walking and frequently taking Muni for longer jaunts around the city.  Muni is crazy, I mean seriously crazy. There usually seems be seems a screaming lunatic with a slight air of menace on every bus that crossing Market street. [...]

<p>I live in the heart of <a class="zem_slink" title="San Francisco" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.7793,-122.4192&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=37.7793,-122.4192%20%28San%20Francisco%29&amp;t=h">San Francisco</a> and don&#8217;t own a car.  So, I&#8217;m always walking and frequently taking <a class="zem_slink" title="San Francisco Municipal Railway" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Municipal_Railway">Muni</a> for longer jaunts around the city.  Muni is crazy, I mean seriously crazy. There usually seems be seems a screaming lunatic with a slight air of menace on every bus that crossing <a class="zem_slink" title="Market Street (San Francisco)" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.7718,-122.4122&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=37.7718,-122.4122%20%28Market%20Street%20%28San%20Francisco%29%29&amp;t=h">Market street</a>.    I tell people about this situation and tend they stare at me like I&#8217;m crazy, particularly people that don&#8217;t live in SF.  How could a place with Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf, Union Square and Michael Mina  have a bus system that frequently seems to be a toxic brew of Rollerball, Ultimate Fighting and an <a class="zem_slink" title="Psychiatric hospital" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_hospital">insane asylum</a>.  So I&#8217;m pained that I missed the recent <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/cityinsider/detail?entry_id=52251&amp;tsp=1">hearing</a> on Muni.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t regularly ride the &#8220;worst&#8221; bus lines mentioned in the article, so I can&#8217;t imagine what the bedlam quotient is  on those particular lines.  But, I have seen this <a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/search.frame.php?term=san+francisco+muni&amp;id=7c8c31adbbc1dbed731a04d307d300ae">video</a> taken on Muni.</p>
