IDK, this one looks evil to me:

Art student?
I’m thinking art student.
I’m not finished yet.
Look at this official Bay Area Air Quality Management District staff car. What powers it? Gasoline. Evil, evil gasoline.
Now let’s leave aside the half-assed parking job directly in front of the latest Polk Great Streets Complete Streets “Improvement” Meeting. Oh wait, let’s not. Parallel parking involves being parallel, right? Work on that, BAAQMD. And should you have left your ass hanging over the official SFMTA red zone? Have you no respect for The Law, BAAQMD?
Hey BAAQMD, where’d you come from to get to the corner of Bush and Polk? Tell me and I’ll then tell you which crappy SFMTA bus line you all could have used to get to the meeting. I myself came up Sutter from the office ’cause it’s relatively flat. See? I’m loaded with info!
Conveniently using one of the many parking spaces it wants to eliminate in the Polk Corridor. Let’s call this shot The High Cost of Free Parking:

Hey BAAQMD! Do you pay the meters when you park you gasoline-powered cars about town on the weekends? I think we had a big deal about this issue just last year, right? Oh no, you just leave the meter flashing EXPIRED EXPIRED while you tend to your bidness for hours? OK fine.
Oh well.
The BAAQMD isn’t an Air Quality Management program, it’s a jobs program.
It’s a jobs program for the people who work for … the BAAQMD.
Just saying.
Well here’s something new – it’s “iCars” from that horrible Bauer company.
See?

That was the wind-up, now here’s the pitch:
“ iCars® service is a network of luxury cars, SUV’s and Mercedes Sprinter vans in San Francisco. This network is accessed through a sophisticated mobile application that allows riders to book and pay for on-demand, private and eco-Iuxury transportation service.
iCars® is managed by Bauer’s Intelligent Transportation, leveraging its transportation expertise and quality standards to ensure responsive, safe and superior transportation. iCars® service combines one of the best high-end transportation companies in the USA with the latest mobile technology to improve the ease and experience of on-demand transportation.
What is it? Luxury car service ordered “in the moment” for 1 to 12 passengers—in and around San Francisco, to SFO (San Francisco International Airport)
How to book? Through your smart phone—Apps available for iPhone and Android phones—reserve and pay online”
Hey Gary Bauer! Doesn’t your company(ies) kind of suck?
I think so!
I say that because your Yelp ratings are pretty low even including all those five-star shill reviews. Check it:
Bauer’s Intelligent Transportation
What good does social media branding do if your service sucks?
And hey, speaking of Bauer’s social media branding and purported blogger Zennie62 / Zennie Abraham, what’s up with this?
“Note: Bauer’s Transportation is a Zennie62.com sponsor”
Is this arrangement still going on now? I don’t know.
It’s mighty interesting tho.
IMO.
Hey Gary Bauer! Isn’t a Sprinter van mostly a delivery vehicle? I think so. Do you really consider it a “luxury” vehicle?
Hey Gary Bauer! Why don’t you raise your rates so that you can improve your services so that your customers could be a little happier?
Just asking.
Bro-ham.
The problem with the Prius drivers is that they feel entitled to do what they want when they want PLUS they generally do their outrageous acts slowly.
As here, on Kearny. The actions of a pushy Ferrari confused this Prius driver, who entered the intersection about a second after his/her light went red. The driver then proceeded across the street s-l-o-w-l-y only to chirp the brakes in a panic stop in the middle of the crosswalk on the far side of the intersection:

Later on, the driver just sat there with the brake lights off, which I don’t get either.
Prius drivers, you aren’t a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem.
Take the HOV stickers off the corners of your ride and try to pay attention to the road.
Perhaps you could crack your windows to be more in touch with your environment?
Perhaps you could carpool, you know, with other people, if you want to drive in the carpool lane?
Perhaps you could save radio listening and phone talking for the freeway?
Just asking.
In closing, Prius drivers are terrible.
Reason One is that they think they’re special, as if they’re part of the solution and not part of the problem. This conceit is totally false. Oh well.
Reason Two is that they think that since they’re special, then they can do whatever they want as long as they do it slowly. So, driving slowly at night without lights is OK, driving slowly through red lights is OK, driving the wrong way up one-way streets is OK – you get the idea.

Oh well.
Hey look, it’s a Google Driverless Car recently spotted on Harrison by a San Francisco resident:
Via mwill140
Wow, 300,000 miles without a single accident - do you think that record compares well with the drivers of the SFMTA MUNI DPT?
