SFMTA snippet
When a driver pulls into the bus yard with a problem, she'll fill out a defect card and
hand it to a mechanic at a central point called "the tower." From there, the "tower man"
will manually enter the data from the defect card into Muni's computer system, noting,
say, a blown headlight. He'll then inform his immediate supervisor, who assigns a second
mechanic to deal with changing the bulb. That mechanic then ambles to the storeroom and
requests the part from the shopkeeper.
So, if you're looking to answer the question: "How many Muni employees does it take to
change a light bulb?" the answer is five. But the bulb hasn't been changed yet.
