A San Francisco bus driver made a series of announcements regarding the possibility of needles being left on or under seats, painting a dismal picture of just how dire things have become in the city plagued with homelessness and trash.

Buzzfeed reporter Caroline O’Donovan tweeted about the announcements on Thursday.

This morning in San Francisco, BART conductor on the PA: “Please look around you for needles before you sit down. There’s at least one needle in car 1551 and there may be others. Thank you.” — Caroline O’Donovan (@ceodonovan) July 26, 2018

The warning was repeated several times, each time the bus stopped and more passengers boarded.

He’s saying it at every stop. “Once again, please make sure there are no needles in or around your seat before you sit down.” — Caroline O’Donovan (@ceodonovan) July 26, 2018

After a few stops, a woman wearing a mask and gloves and carrying a dustpan boarded, cleaning up any potential hazards.

Eventually a woman in a BART uniform came through wearing rubber gloves and a face mask carrying a dustpan and broom… what a job! — Caroline O’Donovan (@ceodonovan) July 26, 2018

San Francisco has been in trouble for some time, with new mayor London Breed complaining in June that the city was effectively drowning in poop.

She said, “There is more feces on the sidewalks than I’ve ever seen growing up here. That is a huge problem and we are not just talking about from dogs — we’re talking about from humans.”
