Update 

Quote

There were no serious injuries. The operator was immediately put on non-driving status and remains on that status.

SFMTA Director of Transportation Julie Kirschbaum reiterated Wednesday that the transit agency's investigation concluded that operator error due to fatigue was to blame for the incident. Kirschbaum also clarified some questions about the operator's hours.

"This operator had driven 58 hours in the preceding two weeks and did not have any unexpected work rules," Kirschbaum said.

Investigators also found that there was no malfunction of the train's breaking system or other systems.

In addition to re-training operators to look out for fatigue, the SFMTA is also looking into new technology for its trains to limit speeds. Speed governors on trains would limit them to 25 mph on surface streets.

Employee was never fired

No, because to do so might violate union contracts:

AI Overview

The San Francisco train operator caught on video appearing to fall asleep wasn't fired because the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) placed her on "non-driving status," disciplined her according to union contracts and internal protocols, and focused on systemic solutions like fatigue training and new tech, rather than immediate termination, acknowledging fatigue as the cause and addressing it through retraining and implementing speed-limiting software for the trains.
