Flyering
Clearly, it’s been a while since I’ve been to the city. The BART fare to my office has gone up 40 cents, though it’s not notably faster or more fun. It is, however, more crowded, since the Bay Bridge is closed for the next week for a complicated maneuver relating to its ongoing and expensive face-lift. So it’s BART, the ferry, or a convoluted combination of highways and other bridges, or stay on the wrong side of the bay until the operation is complete.
I may be imagining it, but there seemed to be less traffic downtown than usual. It made me wonder how much of the traffic in San Francisco is caused by suburbanites like Self.
When I boarded the train to the city yesterday morning, each empty seat held the flyer shown above. It breaks my heart to think that those were the last words Oscar Grant heard on this earth, and that no-one at BART has been held accountable.
