[...] This is an agency that has virtually zero accountability over its ground-level workforce due to extremely onerous union negotiated contracts. They can’t even immediately fire operators after they’ve killed innocent pedestrians. [...]

That sucks about your boss' car, Steve. Every once and a while I'll see the first or last parked car on a block smashed like a truck or bus did a hit and run. I would hate to come home to Victor and see him all smashed up. Bob, it would be awesome if the King showed up to the funeral with armfuls of Whoppers. Mmmm...

PS do you think the King will show up to the deceased’s family to try and give them some Whoppers to ease the pain? I can’t imagine that Burger King wants their flame broiled beef associated with death and dismemberment to the tune of 20 deaths this year.

Your boss should have called the police and filed a hit and run report. Even if there isn’t proof, someone will file the statistic somewhere and there’s a chance that it would turn up on some report somewhere and cause trouble for someone at Muni, especially when the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Plus, they might be able to track down which bus did it by examining the schedule. Or he could play dick tracy and do a stakeout to see if a bus comes by with paint from his car on it. Government tries to make it not their problem by puffing and acting like they’re too big to bother, but the reality is that individuals will eventually be held responsible if they’re causing trouble, but unless someone complains, nothing will be done.

Just last week my boss found his car’s side badly scraped (with black marks at the same height as the black rubber strips the buses have, hmmm…) and his rear view mirror knocked off and hanging by a wire. He was parked right next to a bus stop. Reaching the obvious conclusion, he called the Muni people and they basically said if he can’t prove it then it’s not their problem. Hit and runs aren’t vehicular homicide, but still…
