@TVman198 I think it was 4 busses. When you were announcing the third bus it appears there was a 4th bus to the right of the muni one.

[TVman1981]

@npadul30 That bus stopped to pick up some passengers earlier and did stop for that reason so the number still stands at 3 for MUNI Buses.

You sure those buses weight close to 60000 pounds? That's close to the Max weight a 48feet van(semi trailer) can carry which I think is around 70-75000 pounds. Hell pups(28feet) can only max 24000 per single. No way is a tour bus going to outweigh tractor trailers hauling freight. 1 pallet of tile can weight close to 3000 that's equal to 12 to 20 people depending on their weight.

@lastpally According SFMTA (who own the buses) Articulated buses shown weight around 30 thousand pounds each.

LMAO! Stanley, an articulated "double-dutch" is actually 61,000 pounds. The tour bus is 54,000 pounds. That's alot of steel! Something to note about big vehicles...you can guess about 1000 pounds per foot. For example an articulated coach is 18m or 60 feet long.

@SacNorthern650 According SFMTA (who own the buses) Articulated buses shown in the video weight around 30 thousand pounds each.

like i said before only in cali only in cali

I do have to question why there are no white stop bars on the road. I don't know about California, but in Ontario (Canada), every intersection controlled by a traffic signal also has painted stop bars. Also, those traffic signals look really tiny. All Ontario traffic signals are large, bright yellow, with a large yellow backing plate. While it's not as pretty, it's impossible to ignore.

[lemonrind]

Wow, this one is really scary. When I have been in similar outages, every car treated the intersection as an all-way stop.

@scooter1977 if there were cops there the people would have stopped

[CyclingMagician]

What are you talking about Stanley Roberts!???? California DMV IS giving away driver licenses!!! Your videos prove it!

[scooter1977]

LOL, and where the HELL were the cops during this whole fiasco? They could have issued SO many tickets during this power outage. Just goes to show you, when you ACTUALLY need a cop, they are nowhere to be found.

@TVman1981 Try 2:30pm to 5:30pm on 14 Mission and 8X Bayshore Express. Bring an undercover cop with you.

Stanley I have long complaint about people driving badly. Not only is it up in Northern Cali but also in Southern. I honestly think that the people who do issue the licenses should have their job re-evaluated again.
