I blame the fact that BART was never extended down the Peninsula.

  Or into Marin! Even a BART line along Geary to the ocean would be transformative.

    Almost equivalently, a Muni subway along Geary that wasn't slow, overcrowded, and prone to breakdowns would be transformative. The N-Judah should also become a subway for most of its aboveground route; there's too much traffic now for it to run at street level. There used to be Muni streetcar tracks along Geary, but they became buses long ago. Both are subject to sitting in traffic for long periods. They have been talking about a Geary Bus Rapid Transit line -- a dedicated bus-only lane. If it works, it'll be better. I am at a loss to explain how the city requires 8 years (and counting) to debate whether to paint "BUS ONLY" on a street.

  Not BART's fault -- Santa Clara county officials backed out in 1957, which caused San Mateo to back out in 1961: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_5162648 http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_5162648
