Hello All!

So if I've done my math correctly, 315 streetcars passing inbound by Van 
Ness in 8 hours (480 minutes) results in an average of one IB streetcar 
every 1.52 minutes. Given that from 7p-10p the headways were less, 
pretty intense service during the rush hour!!

Add the buses and it's 1 vehicle every 0.74 minutes!

No wonder we Inspectors were busy!!
