Was never a fan of it either, but it's hot hot hot on the 38 Geary now. Ugh. Hey, at least it's a Limited!
Yes, you're lucky!
The last time I was on the 38 was in December. I was on my way to the DMV, and I recognised the man who'd sat next to me on the flight from Amsterdam to SF. He was Dutch, but lived in SF, and had been working in Iran for the previous six months. He'd been very excited (as much as someone as stern as he was could display excitement) to go home. So, when I see him on the bus two days later, he pulls out his SF taxi license, and tells me he's on his way to renew it. He also shows me his airline ticket back to Iran three days later. He was quite upset about having to go back so soon (he would have to miss Christmas with his family). I displayed sympathy. What I did not display was my utter confusion at why an SF taxi driver would be shuttling commuting to work in Iran.
