agree. one thing I had been wondering/concerned about was how long it would take the trains to get through the surface intersections (King, Townsend, Brannan, Bryant), but there seems to be some signal prioritization going on, so it's usually pretty smooth/quick. that helps a lot. once in the tunnel, it is super speedy.
even getting into/out of the deep stations hasn't been as bad as I feared it would be. those escalators are going to be key, tho. they need to stay operational.
overall I would say happy with it as well. now let's get it to North Beach/Fisherman's Wharf and at least over to Van Ness BRT!
