When the train stops working, they should just put this sucker up instead of incessantly repeating "Due to mechanical difficulties..." "There is a disruption..." and so on...
(Yiying Lu's Fail Whale is one of my favorite illustrations to ever happen to the internet. A big tip of the hat!)

If/when they switch the PIDs out in the stations with LCD screens, this is exactly what I hope to see on screen whenever a train is delayed.

Thanks all :)
@njudahchronicles.com, I'm sure I could find the time, though I've never ridden Muni, so I won't have as much frustration to fuel me… :)

Yes! Please do on for MUNI. It's so bad that I long for METRO some days.
This is fantastic.

Two people explicitly requesting Muni? Okay, I'll find the time for sure. As far as t-shirts, I'll mull over that soon…
