Enter the Idiots
The Mercury News is reporting a rash of pranks endangering the lives of San Franciscans and their new hybrid bus program:
Over the past couple weeks, Muni drivers have reported that people are flipping a switch that can be accessed easily through an unlocked panel on the outside of the bus.
The bus’s interior lights go out, and drivers can’t accelerate and lose radio contact with dispatchers.
Now, do we all realize who Idiot #1 is? That’s right. The wacko who designed the switch to be easily accessible from the outside of the bus. Come on, people. Green is good, but it’s not going to change mankind, who is at various points, destructive and clueless. The second Idiot would be whoever started this prank. If a bus loses the ability to accelerate, or to communicate with home base at the wrong time, it endangers the lives of everyone in and around that bus.
Hopefully designers can fit a locked door on these units so they can go back to servicing the whole city. Hopefully these pranksters will move on to destroying Humm– I mean, will find a safe and friendly hobby that helps the planet. :D
