Little rant:

Tried to take the wonderful People Mover on Friday [[yes, I actually use it for transit). Closed. Why? Because the Romans may have killed some Jewish guy 2000 years ago on that day.

I mean, COME ON. Does the EL train close on Good Friday? Does BART? The NYC subway?

It was a work day for most people! Not to mention I'm sure a shit ton of people were staying downtown or making a long weekend out of the Opening Day festivities.

Oh...and the STUPID THING DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A DRIVER!

This city is seriously the most back-assward place. I was just running some errands but I know some folks in from an actual functioning Metropolis in town who were baffled by this. I'm glad we never miss a chance to look embarassing and incompetant.

Can we get the state to take over the People Mover at least on Good Friday?

As an aside, I'm not for abolishing religious holidays or becoming some kind of atheist state. I'm a Catholic myself.
