I hate Waiting.
Waiting for buses is a pain. Public Transit in San Francisco is pretty good coverage-wise, but not so great predictability-wise. Recently, SFMTA put up a couple of different types of electronic signs and screens to tell people when the next bus or light rail was coming.
Only one problem … they aren’t accurate. The ones in the bus shelters are just on written schedules it would seem, and have no insight into the actually timing of the bus in question. The big screens that are in the underground stations often have cars listed as. say, “K” when they are they are actually “S” trains.
So, I wait.
Last week, I waited for contracts. They came Friday and Monday. I chose one and accepted.
Now I wait for confirmation and final paperwork to be signed. At any point, this could all change. It’s happened twice this year already - contracts go POOF … and gone.
So, I wait.
