Carmelo J. Azzopardi was mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle on 16 December 1947: How Muni Bus Drivers Start Work
Carmelo Azzopardi, an APL bus driver lor the Municipal Railway, arrived at the bus depot at Twenty - fourth and Utah street at 5:45 a.m. yesterday. As he entered the driver's gillie (waiting) room, he was handed a white AFL leaflet and a blue OIO circular. They told the men to report officially on time for work—but no earlier.
The drivers, the leaflets and union officiials said, were to carry out each step required by the management. If they did this, they explained, it would be impossible to get the busses rolling in the seven minutes check-in time allowed by the railway. Azzopardi, who lives at 224 Nueva street, hung around the gillie room and talked to the boys until 6:02, his reporting time.Then he got in line outside the clerks' window and waited two and, a half minutes until he received a small bag of 200 tokens, a pad of transfers and some necessary papers. After spending a few seconds signing for the material, Azzopardi walked over to a table, sat down, counted the tokens, to make certain he wasn't accidentally shortchanged, punched his transfers, filled out his trip sheet. This task took about eight minutes—or one minute more than the overall seven minutes allotted by the railroad.
Azzopardi walked briskly to his Sunset Express bus, which was waiting at Twenty-third and Vermont streets—three blocks away. The walk took four minutes. A short time was spent squaring things away in the bus and then another another bit of time was used driving back to the barn, where an inspector checked the change box.
At 6:20. 18 minutes after he reached the window, or 11 minutes late, Azzopardi was on his way. Of the 227 busses which rolled yesterday morning, only six left on time. Most busses were six to nine minutes late in departing. The union held this proves the men need more than the allotted seven minutes for checking and 10 minites for checkout time at the end of the day. He and Saturia M. Rodriquez were listed in the 1950 US Census age 52, city transit bus driver in San Francisco, CA, USA.
