Oh look! The SFMTA is conducting a survey! It's about Muni and cabs and parking and walking around town! This should be fun. Here's the first question, no joke:
"Don't know"! I don't know if I live, work, attend school or spend time in San Francisco! That's because I'm either in a persistent vegetative state or I work for the SFMTA! WHAT PLACE IS THIS? WHERE AM I? OH I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ISSUING PARKING TICKETS TODAY.
Let's look at some other questions on the survey.
Please rank the following concerns in order of importance when riding Muni
__ Timeliness
__ Cleanliness of vehicle
__ Pile of chicken bones / human excrement on vehicle
__ Fat guy taking up two seats
__ Chick listening to Weezy so loud I can hear it from her headphones 3 rows away
__ Guy with eyes pointing different directions talking about "wheels within wheels" and "the end of days"
Which of the following have you said while riding Muni / waiting for Muni? (please check all that apply)
__ Oh God, please get the fuck away from me
__ Wait, what? What the fuck? What do you mean, you're turning around?
__ Is that the bus coming? Oh, fuck, no, that's Golden Gate Transit. Fuck.
__ Six empty Ns going inbound, not one going out. Again. Fucking fuck.
__ 48 minutes? It just said 10 minutes! What the fuck!
__ I wouldn't touch that without a hazmat suit.
Which of the following are concerns when riding in a taxi in San Francisco?

ReplyDeletePlease write the next MTA survey, because I mentally checked every box on your second section. The one that made me LOL, however, was the last bit about the taxis.
ReplyDeleteThis vociferous cyclist is off to take this fun survey!
Oooh, that "additional comments" section was FUN.
ReplyDeleteDisappointed by the lack of gender options, though.
I am excited to become part of their "exclusive online panel", though!
I agree, your survey is much more fun than the SFMTA official one.
ReplyDeleteYou'd probably get more useful answers, too.
(Full disclosure, I took the official survey!)
This is ridiculously spot on.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tamagosan on the brilliance of the taxi multiple choice questions referencing fucked up Farsi. I've refused to take a taxi in this town for about 15 years now, partly out of choice and partly because they are impossible to find anyway so it's easy to be virtuous and principled.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right. "Don't know" could be the overall title of the MTA survey.
I want to thank you for providing this useful information about web services!
