By 8:00, people were already posting photos of the crowd. Reports of Muni's inability to handle the crowds are coming in as well. Work gave us a couple of hours to take the train down and catch some of the event before having to be back at 1:00 for meetings. The two trains that passed me on my walk to work were filled with orange and black. I am wondering how poor the Muni service will be getting me back to work.
This is from Tersh Barber at 8:00 this morning, midway along the parade route:
UPDATE: SF City Hall is openly hostile to car owners/drivers and has hailed itself as a "Transit First!" city and operates under the assumption that everyone, everyone, should be taking public transportation; and then continues to operate public transportation agencies completely incompetently and screws everyone. Another example today, buried in the information release from the SF Visitor's and Convention Bureau: "No transportation agency is adding service for the parade."
A half a million or so people are expected.
