the state-of-good-repair grift will continue until the morale improves! SelTrac is fine. and if it ever actually breaks (dubious) they can fall back to block signaling which comfortably handles more trains than muni is capable of running. the MBTA does just fine with it on the green line, and when the MBTA is making you look incompetent you've got to question where it all went wrong.

this is the agency that brought you the central fucking subway, a $300M sewer project masquerading as some red paint on van ness, that picked the already-mostly-grade-separated M Ocean over the N Judah to subway-ify and that is incapable of flicking the traffic preemption switch on the rest of the T to the on position without a decades long pedestrian detection LIDAR project for the unique in the world needs of san francisco.
