MP, you're absolutely right - that guy should be in jail, and I'm sure his employers are deeply worried right now!

Just commuted in with my usual AC Transit Transbay bus. Public transportation is apparently free today (yeah, but what about tomorrow??). We whizzed over the bridge- people did indeed decide not to drive in. It's getting back to Oakland from SF that is going to be the mess.
You might want to check on AC Transit, Trek. There are always bikes on the front of the buses I take- they're routes are pretty extensive:

Good luck everybody.

The freeway/Richmond bridge from Marin to Richmod was deserted. Not the usual backup going from Richmond to Marin at all. I BART-ed in. The train was VERY crowded. I got engorssed and missed my stop and jumped out of BART at 12th street as the doors were closing and fell. Rookie mistake.
Got to work just fine and didn't even run my stockings!

Oh boy, the plot thickens: it looks like the driver was involved in two previous hit & run accidents. He's also done jail time previously for drugs (possession & intent to sell), as well as committing burglaries. Originally Posted by bikerz

Meanwhile, I hope everyone's enjoying their free public transit today. I can tell you firsthand that Amtrak did NOT qualify as one of the free public transit options. Oh well, plenty of spots left on my 10-ride ticket.

if you aren't interested in reading the full article, I think it should be mentioned that his last conviction was nearly 10 years ago and the police don't think drugs or alcohol were involved.... Originally Posted by melissam

Not condoning - just pointing out additional information

Well, BART was jammed tonight at 6 when I finally left work - with a huge box on a cart, so that was a lot of fun.
Eerie when we surfaced - we couldn't see the freeway collapse but we could see 3 - 4 helicopters hovering over the site.Sarah
