That someone who so clearly embraces moderation and responsible transportation when imbibing beyond 0.08 BAC should get struck by a MUNI train compounds the irony in this tragedy. Bill, when you read this, please know I wish we could’ve hastened or delayed our parting from 21A by a few seconds. Get well soon!

I bet every person as they stood in court to face drunk driving charges wish they did that.

To brewnot…BART to San Jose would be a good start. But you’re right, outside of our central cities, SF, Oakland-Berkeley, the car rules. And sadly, a lot of us are going to be driving while legally intoxicated, if not drunk. It’s a damnable situation, but it’s what’s happening.
