To my astonishment, when I was leaving Oakland on Wednesday evening around 7:45, people were queuing up for the streetcars! I've never seen this before, and I was so favorably impressed by this courteous and fair way of approaching boarding. I remembered Madrid back in the early 1970's when people did that. Till then I thought only Londoners were so civilized.
This morning I wondered whether this was a new movement, so I Googled "queuing up sf" and found photos of San Franciscans waiting in line--but for Tartine and other such places, not for a MUNI ride.

Now what I'm wondering is this: Has this been going on for some time while I, unaware, have been unwittingly breaking in line? Breaking in lines that I never saw formed?
