This huge, dual-axle Jerr-Dan (an “Oskosh Corporation Company”) HDL 700/530 35 Ton Independent heavy duty wrecker was what it took for a MUNI bus to finish its route the other day. Never saw a tow truck this big from this close.

Thanks P&S Towing. For all you do, this Bud’s for you.
This guy road the rails all the way down the Embarcadero heading to Fisherman’s Wharf. Good thing no trains were coming. And good thing he had the optional SUV tires - the ride must be rough when you’re on the cobblestones.

First of all, why does San Francisco even have a 13th Street? That’s some bad juju right there. This road pictured below is “covered by the Central Skyway making it one of the darkest and ugliest streets in San Francisco.”
And actually, we’ve got two entirely different 13th Streets in town - the proper one in the SOMA (illustrated below) plus that other one on Treasure Island. We’re just asking for trouble, aren’t we?

Second of all, MUNI will probably get this 60-foot, articulated ETI Skoda 21Tr-SF TrolleyBus back on the road (eventually), but these Skodas seem to hitch a lot of rides on this ginourmous tow truck. Good thing that these bendy-left-and-right buses are also bendy up and down - it makes towing lots easier.
MUNI fever - catch it!
This toddler on the side of a MUNI bus on San Francisco’s Market Street is shown all by her lonesome finding inner peace via yoga in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. (Thank goodness all the trash was removed by that “Save the Bay” shooting crew.)

The driver of this white car recently double-parked on the streets of San Francisco. But that’s nothing new, right?
San Francisco turns a blind eye to double parking around churches - it’s an “unwritten rule” that you are safe from ticketing in certain areas at certain times. Like Sunday mornings in the Western Addition, say.
The problem is that leaving a car there for an hour or two created a dangerous situation for pedestrians. Bad form. The driver of the red car wasn’t parking - he mistakenly thought the white car was just waiting at the stop sign for a few seconds. So after a while, he backed up and then went around. It’s easier to deal with double parked cars when they sit in the middle of the block.
As an alternative, why not double park at least a car’s length or two away from the crosswalk? That would make things better and safer for everybody. Just saying.
Google Transit has come to the Bay Area, finally. Watch the video here.
What about getting down over to San Hoser? You’ve been away so long, you may go wrong and lose your way.
Check it out. Now, do you know the way to San Jose?
