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. | |
