turning the streetcar


















It's interesting to watch them turn the streetcar. What's not interesting is that the mayor of SF significantly downsized the streetcar budget so that less are running, and lines get long and Long waiting for a streetcar. Workers even just sit there on streetcars until it's time for another one to go; the budget (according to one of the workers) is so low, they are paying streetcar operators per journey. So, the longer you wait in line for a streetcar, the more the city saves. Of course, while we waited for this one we were serenaded by wonderfully bad Beatles guitar music in the cold, so it does make a delightfully funny memory after the fact!
