anyone ever heard of the monitor-merrimac bridge-tunnel *it's amazing*

The first time I had to drive across the Bay Bridge in San Franciso, I thought I would have a panic attack. Of course, the alternative was the BART ... a subway system which runs *under* the bay.

I live here and driving over the Bay Bridge always scares me. Now that they're building a new bridge right next to it, it's even weirder. I always think about the Loma Prieta earthquake where a part of the Bay Bridge collapsed while people were driving on it - one of them a friend of mine who had just driven over that portion of the roadway and had just gotten off the bridge when it collapsed.

Now riding BART in the underwater tunnel - that's actually kinda fun. It's just dark and long but the trains go so fast, you're back on land before you know it.

I think BART is what I took from the hotel to the airport when I left San Fran. You're right! It's so fast which makes it fun! Woosh!
