Cool, and a very nice photo on there too.I just got back from SF; I think the service is already excellent. And I did ride around the suburban / residential areas in addition to the touristy areas. |

I really like the picture -- it's my latest desktop photo now.SF did trackless really well. That they do articulated trackless coaches probably says something about their faith in trackless. Of course I don't know what happens behind the scenes, but in the time I was there they seemed to be just as efficient as a bus, and of course lacked emissions. The only drawback relative to buses it seemed was that bunching was a tad more likely with trackless coaches because of the inability to pass each other. |

San Francisco needs trackless coaches because of the hills. They climb the hills effortlessly, it seems. Diesel buses and hybrid buses can't do this.Yes, bunching is a problem, to pass, your leader has to pull his poles. I rode the 6-Parnassus and got off before the end of the line, the coach coming back picked me up, nice guy, and said wait a minute my leader has to pass me, and he stopped to pull his poles.The coach that passed us was the one I rode, how he got out of sequence,I do not know. |
