It wasn't reported widely, but Friday morning the subway was completely shut down from around 7:10AM until around 8AM. No explanation was given why they couldn't move any trains in or out of the tunnel. I heard a vague explanation of a "control issue." Does anyone know exactly what happened Friday as thousands of us had to explain (yet again) why we were late for work? Here's a tip for those who need to get downtown when this happens. Don't wait for a MUNI shuttle bus to arrive. Take a train in the opposite direction to a BART station, and then take BART downtown. It's surprising that at least there were some MUNI officials who were suggesting this to the huge crowd gathered outside West Portal Station last Friday.
