We have written much about the tragic result of San Francisco bus accidents on this blog. Muni bus fatal in the past accidents settlements have cost the city millions lawsuit, and far too many San Francisco have claimed mainly the life-based. Over the weekend, new urbanites Emily Dunn was defeated and killed by a Muni bus in the city of Castro. The police report pointed out that Dunn was hit 95% in the crosswalk of a Muni bus makes a left turn, an action that is called often as unsafe.

Earlier this year Muni agreed a record settlement of $5,36 million of the family by David Wheeler, a racing cyclist, who was killed at a Muni in nearby ocean beach. According to the documents, in the San Francisco Superior Court of the Muni drop operator Roy Timmons failed to stop, before you are links and took an unusually tight RADIUS. The description of this accident is equivalent to Dunn's collision over the weekend.

The bus has plagued by an unusually large number accidents that round left by dangerous Portland, Oregon. Last year, the Oregonian, reported that although links train accidents were "alarming", the city refused, a "no links"-policy. And last December, a group of five Portland residents launched a $30 million lawsuit against Portland TriMet bus system, after a bus to the left in a busy street, with two people killed and three more. The accident said plaintiffs called the TriMet "a culture within the TriMet safe and defensive driving as the top place and approved priority priority."

San Francisco should learn from the tragedy last weekend and implement measures to reduce the links rounds on all Muni vehicles dangerous. If successfully completed, would reduce the links switches save the city in legal costs and more important is a bundle, save promising San Francisco-based.
