Update! Whoops, I meant to post this on SFist. Ha ha, wrong blog.


Remember mid-June, when we posted video of a driver pulling over and wandering into Walgreen's to do some errands? There's new news to report! Well, actually, there isn't -- Muni has just officially admitted that they failed to capture any data relating the to incident.

We submitted a report to Muni about it (it's number 226478, in case you care); meanwhile, Sunshine-champion Kimo Crossman requested that Muni turn over footage from the bus in question.

For a week and a half, nothing happened.

We got a reply from Muni on the 27th. This is the extent of the response Muni will provide to a passenger; to get anything further, you have to do a Sunshine request.

And now finally, this past Friday, Muni responded to Kimo: they can't figure out on what vehicle the incident occurred, and who can blame them, given the limited details? (11:45am on the Westbound 33 at 18th and Castro driven by a heavyset African American woman.) They were able to narrow it down to three different buses, though: two of them had broken cameras, and the other one didn't capture the event.

At this point in Muni's email, the font changes to a teeny tiny little script, as if Emily Litella wrote the closing words: "As a result, the MTA has no records responsive to your request."

Another jorb well done, Muni!
