- convolvatron 10y agoits more than just numbers users make a point of forcing u-turns on busy streets running a red only to block the intersection in the other direction stopping a full lane to pick up or drop or a fare, or even just check their phones idling in the bus lane, ignore the honking bus, and forcing it* to take on and discharge passengers in the traffic lane but in any case, it doesn't matter matter. for whatever reason SOMA is gridlocked throughout the day you can easily take an hour to traverse the last mile before the bay bridge. its just not working anymore. i think the ubers cause a lot of it..but someone has to do something
