Description

While staying at home, I thought I would catch up on updating my bestselling book, and create a compilation of all three of my Dao of Doug series: 1. Finding Zen: A Bus Driver's Perspective, 2012. 2. Keeping Zen: A Line Trainer's Guide, 2015; and 3. The Trolleybus of Happy Destiny, 2018. I have streamlined the chapters I borrowed from books 1 and 2, and had fun in adding new content and merging chapters to create this new anthology. This book adds the perspective of eliminating the fare altogether for public transportation--San Francisco has made our main thoroughfare, Market Street, car-free downtown, and many new street improvements are being accelerated by our Mayor. We have a new Director of Transportation who favors bicycles as a means of getting around, and for the first time in my 30 years as a resident of the city by the bay, the greater good for commerce is not being held hostage by the merchants' demand for on-street parking. What's different about Muni, the SFMTA, since book one in 2012? The management at the San Francisco Municipal Railway has purchased new equipment for Light Rail, motor coach, and trolleybus modes. Yard starter delays, coach trades at relief points, and out-of-service road calls from the shop, are now few and far between, especially as contained in book 2 written in 2015. The statistics coming down the pike will show Muni running on time for the first time in my 21 year career as a transit operator! Indeed, there are some silver linings to be found as things quiet down for a bit--instead of becoming fearful by constantly watching headline news. Take a pause, now that you have some time to read at home! I do love photography, so there are now about 30 outlined black and white illustrations littered throughout the book with new photos. If you haven't read any of my work, 'Now is as good a time as any,' as Captain Katheryn Janeway would say about the temporal mechanics lab on Voyager!Whether you're a trekkie or a car person, 'Sit Back and Watch the Show!'Douglas Meriwether a.k.a.
