Do these do any good? Who knows. I'm not giving up though.

Hi, The 5 line has always had problems with bunching up and long gaps. This morning, I was waiting for the 43 at Fulton/Masonic for about 15 minutes. I observed many, many series of bunched-up 5 buses going in both directions. For example, bus 5640 on run 92 was followed immediately, with no gap at all, by a second bus. It was hard to get the number since visibility this morning was poor, but it appeared to be bus # 5566. Bunched-up runs on the 5 appear to be the rule, rather than the exception. All of the riders would appreciate closer monitoring and enforcement on that line. Thanks, Matt

Plus a bonus complaint!

Hi, I've commented before on the bunching problem that the 43 line suffers. There was again a problem last night at around 6:30. The driver of bus 8365 lingered for a long time before starting his run; when he finally started, the driver of the next bus behind him, 8371, started his run only a few minutes later. The two drivers continued the remainder of their runs together, only ever putting about five minutes of space between each other. In the past, when I've pointed out the bunching problem on the 43, I've been told that Muni will consider increasing its enforcement on that line. That enforcement, if it's happened, doesn't seem to be catching all of the problems. Thanks for your attention to this, Matt
