KTVU has some choice footage of last Saturday's Muni crash over on King Street near AT&T Park. Since major news networks inexplicably don't believe in the religion of Embedded Code, we are forced to link to it here. (Oh, and then you have to click on "RAW VIDEO: Watch Muni Surveillance Footage Shot On Trains Involved In Collision.") If some kind soul wants to upload or find us the same footage, YouTube- or Flickr......

Last Saturday's T-Third meets N-Judah collision might be, according to to investigators, might have been the result of a speeding Muni driver and/or someone chatting on their cell phone. KCBS reports: Investigators say one of the MUNI rail cars involved in a crash Saturday afternoon was speeding and the driver may have been talking on his cell phone. (...) MUNI says drivers are not allowed to talk on the phone while operating a vehicle.......

An astonishing twelve passengers were sent to the hospital on Saturday after a T-Third train slammed into the back of a two-car N-Judah. The accident happened near AT&T Park on King Street between Third and Fourth streets, and none of the injuries were life-threatening. Allegedly. But why the T-Third didn't stop is anyone's guess. As of now, Muni has no idea. When the trains are underground, the lines run are "run on an automated......

Awhile back, Greg wrote that he didn't want The N Judah Chronicles to become the "let's all talk about people getting hurt and killed blog." Alas, the injury count seems to have gone up a tick today; Muni reports: There is no Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) service on the J-Church line between 16th and Church streets and San Jose and Ocean avenues due to an injury accident between an LRV and a pickup truck at......

N Judah Chronicles' Greg Dewar will not be pleased. And neither will the rest of you. Just weeks after colliding with a 90-year-old woman on the corner of 9th Avenue and Irving Street, an inbound N Judah stuck a man at 31st Avenue, dragging him to 28th, killing him in the process. Overhead news helicopters, a Judah Street closure, and a police investigation followed suit. What's more, according to the Gate: The incident was the......

An elderly woman was struck by an outbound N-Judah this evening around 5:45 p.m. at 9th Avenue and Irving Street. Over at N-Judah Chronicles, fittingly enough, Greg Dewar was downing a pint at Blackthorn Tavern when the collision occurred. While having a pint at the Blackthorn Tavern, awaiting the beginning of pub trivia, Bobby, the owner alerted me to a situation just outside the door. It seems that at 5:41 pm (according to sources......

Hey folks, we're back again with our favorites amongst the comments and opinions you, the readership, made about SFist's stories that ran the week of July 1. Despite the weird holiday schedule, there was plenty of excellent conversation. ...

We're reading on the Chron that unspecified "police action" between 25th and 30th Avenues in the Sunset has completely blocked the N Judah. MUNI is setting up buses between 19th and Sunset Blvd, and the buses will go down Kirkham. Any info on what's going on, readers? Is it Ed Jew again? Update!: It was a "suspicious package" on Judah and 30th that was ultimately deemed to be safe. Picture by awcole72 from Flickr.......

Let's see… big event? Check. Lots of people involved? Check? Lots of drunk people involved? Double check. Muni somehow screwing the pooch? Check, check, checkity check....

This is probably late for those of you already at the Phonebooth (it's 3-1 right now as another good starting pitching performance is being wasted by an anemic, Barry-less offense) but starting today, service to the ballpark is being changed. No longer will the N Judah take you to game, but the T Third line will. So expect to get there later than normal. ...

So we all know Muni is having some budget problems, mainly that in order to work the way they (and us) want it to work, they'll need more money, like $150 million dollars. But they also know that any sort of fare increase will only bring the wrath of God on them. What to do, what to do? ...

So in light of the recent homeless survey, the question everyone is asking is Col. Tigh? Really? And what's with "All Along the Watchtower?" Oh wait, that's "Battlestar Galactica." Where were we? Oh yeah, so the question everyone is wondering is what's with all the homeless people who came here from elsewhere?...

While we were stuck in some really bad traffic this morning, we turned on the radio to get a traffic report and heard that we weren't the only ones having a rough commute...

As of April 7, the N Judah will no longer be the MUNI metro train that will take you to the Caltrain station and the ballpark. That will now the J-Church and the new T-Third line. ...

Hey, it looks like today's theme is MUNI. But who doesn't love stories about MUNI? Anyways, the Chron did a story and discovered that MUNI has a lot of problems right now, mainly that it's on time only 70% of the time. That's 15% lower than mandated by Prop E. In fact, only three lines approach the 85% mark....

You know how sometimes you need a good conversation starter to get a party kicking? Well, here's a good subject to get an interesting conversation going: what is the worst MUNI line? Try it-- you'll get all sorts of fun answers and enough hair-raising stories to make you think you don't have it so bad. So with that in mind and because it's been awhile since we've run a contest, we're going to do a contest for the Worst MUNI Line....

Here are two good web sites that you should enjoy. They don't really have that much in common, but they're both good. ...

It turns out BART wasn't the only transit system having problems this week, MUNI was too. First up was the M which had problems when a tree was knocked over and onto one of those powerlines at Randolph and Byxbee streets. The trouble started last night and continued on until this morning when the power was finally restored. We remember back when we rode the N Judah and it seemed like everytime it rained, some branch knocked down a powerline, usually right by our stop. We also remember really hating it when that happened. ...

A reader writes in to ask one of the biggest questions there is about MUNI: I've attached a screenshot of the J Church train on a Friday night, according to Next Muni's site. Yep, that is five trains arriving within one ten-minute period, for a train that's supposed to go every ten minutes. This is at a stop that is five stops from the terminus, where (in theory) someone should be sitting there saying......
