You see, if the roadways/freeways collapse, then you can't travel on them, or under them, or over them.

This is a bit nerve wracking.

San Francisco Municipal Railway (aka MUNI)
I follow @sfappeal on Twitter, and 3 or 4 times each day they report on a collision/injury/death on the San Francisco Municipal Railway, aka Muni. Hence, my affection for the trollys, ancient or otherwise.

(I think there are several messages herein)
