var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/offbeat_news/San_Francisco_driver_takes_his_Prius_into_a_train_ tunnel_gets_stuck'; We know your Prius is fuel efficient, yes. We know your Prius makes you feel environmentally-friendly, yes. However, your Prius is not a train. Do not try and make it one. If you do it in San Francisco in the sunset tunnel at Duboce Triangle, you'll find yourself the owner of a pretty ticket citing city ordinance 22.521 -- blocking railroad tracks. That'll cost you $55, hold up hundreds of people and a bunch of trains and cause yourself all manner of humiliation and ridicule at the hands of your fellow Bay Area citizens.
