About this ebook

Inside the Heart of an SF Trolley Man: A Line Trainer's Guide Douglas Meriwether follows up his 2013 book with this revised second installment:

SAN FRANCISCO — For many first-time San Franciscan commuters and transit riders, navigating and riding the bustling transit system can be both intimidating and confusing, but transit operator Driver Doug knows how to keep a Zen mind while riding the overhead in an electric trolley coach.

In his second of the 'Dao of Doug' series book, "The Dao of Doug 2: The Art of Driving A Bus: Keeping Zen in San Francisco Transit: A Line Trainer's Guide", the follow-up to his 2013 book, Driver Doug guides readers around San Francisco, offering advice for getting around the city and keeping the ride in time with the beats of the traffic flow. Knowing the difference between island and curb stops on Market Street, and Avenues v. Streets, can make a big difference in time, and where you end up!

Readers are in the driver's seat as Driver Doug takes them through a typical day as a transit operator of a hybrid electric trolley coach. He describes the operator's duties and the typical transit passenger rush that he witnesses and addresses potential problems such as overcrowded cars, lost tourists and transit malfunctions to help riders deal with such hassles. Also are golden clues about running time, recovery time, headway time, and leaving times.

With his book, Driver Doug provides both a humorous and enlightening view of a transit operator's daily life. He hopes it will educate and entertain readers.
