Ford: T Service Improving
MTA director Nathaniel Ford told the Chronicle that service is improving on the T Third as well as other Muni Metro lines since the opening three weeks ago. (This is over a baseline of 25% on time service for the T-Third, according to a staff report at the SFCTA CAC (pdf) this week.)

Hmmm, well, I haven’t noticed many improvements.
I ride the N Judah twice daily, and have noticed increasing delays and bunching of cars, both inbound and outbound. Last night I had a 30 minute + wait for an outbound train off peak hours (6:30), and this morning there was another 30 minute wait for a train downtown during my morning commute.
I don’t know what’s causing the delays (I’ve heard that the two-car trains are having a hard time turning around at the Embarcadero), but it seems like there are fewer Ns running.
Ever since the introduction of the T-Third line, Muni Metro delays have become the norm rather than the exception. On days that Muni Metro seem to run okay, a delay will occur the minute a J-Church or T-Third train passes by. The T-Third line is a nightmare and abysmal failure!
The worst is when there are no trains for 15 minutes, then a single train arrives. What the hell is Muni thinking?!?
Hey Nathaniel Ford, how about getting your head out of your ass and telling riders what you are doing to fix the problem?
