4 fucking buses? It’s the Muni blackhole…

Tonight I got bitch slapped by the 48. I got off Caltrain at the 22nd Street station and walked to the bus stop across the street to wait for the 48 to come pick me up and take me home. I started waiting at 5:40 pm. I waited patiently until a 48 came along 17 minutes later in the opposite direction. It promptly stopped directly across the street to go on break. Sweet.

Almost directly behind this bus was another 48, which actually managed to not stop and continue on the route. Since the end of the route is only about 6 blocks away I figured that bus would come pick me up shortly. I was soon to find out just how wrong this logic was.

Somehow I managed to wait a full 50 minutes before actually getting on a bus. I waited from 5:40 to 6:30. During that time I had the luxury of watching 2 more 48 buses pass by in the opposite direction. Yes, that’s a full 4 buses that passed me going the other way. That’s a new personal record. Give me a fucking medal.

I took pictures, which are annotated and timestamped below. The pictures are really shitty, that’s what I get for trying to use a crappy camera phone in the dark. You’ll have to trust me that those are all the 48. I swear, I can’t make this shit up.

Now, if we take a look at the 48 route you’ll understand exactly how fucking ridiculous this is. The first image below shows the 48 route from the Muni map. The arrow shows where I wait across the street from the Caltrain station. Notice that the route ends just beyond where I’m waiting.

The second image shows the directions in Yahoo Maps, which show us that the total round trip distance from my stop around the rest of the route and back is a mere 1.1 miles. Estimated travel time? 5 minutes. 5 fucking minutes? Oh Yahoo maps, how naive you are.

So where the fuck do the buses go? How can I watch 4 buses pass by on a route that only goes a maximum of 1.1 miles beyond my stop? This defies the laws of physics.

This is the basis for a new theory that I am formulating about a frequently observed phenomenon: the Muni blackhole. Ever wonder how buses can just seem to disappear? How bus after bus can keep passing you by in the wrong direction without a single bus coming back your way? Once you accept the Muni blackhole then it all makes sense. The buses seem to be disappearing because they are disappearing. Into nothingness. Into the empty void of the Muniverse.

    this is all well and good, but I believe the correct procedure is to get the drivers’ badge numbers. so do that next time.

    Our hats off the fine folks at Municide who figures out one of the fundamental material laws of the universe while waiting for the 48 bus near the Caltrain Station. They watched four buses go by in the opposite direction…

    I feel your pain. I gave up on the 22nd St. station a year ago after having this happen. What good is a Baby Bullet Caltrain if all the saved time is spent waiting for a Muni bus that never comes?

    I raise your 4 48’s with 5 43’s going in the opposite direction this evening (also near the start/end of the route).
