Flyer 2856 covered with graffiti, applied during the strike. AP 2001. Submitted by John Wollenzin, photographer unknown.

The graffiti application happened around the second day of the strike. In a way, this makes San Francisco MUNI look not too bad. Security guards are now patrolling all depots 24 hours a day. The damage was obviously done by vandals who have done this before. The damage is estimated around $130,000. APR 2001.

NFI Lowfloorn 5101 detouring via Seymour, Pender, Homer, Hastings This move was not related to the overhead work at Richards & Hastings: rather, BC Hydro was blocking lane #2 n/b Seymour n/s Hastings, making it REALLY difficult for artics to turn right onto Hastings from Seymour.
