Just your average ride on the bus, as chronicled by @kudeki:

“Crazy guy gets on muni, refuses to pay. Bus driver stops the bus and says we ain’t goin nowhere til you pay. Guy curses at bus driver.” – 11:58 AM

“Guy stands over bus driver, threateningly, yelling that he’s been in this town 20 yrs and driver is the dumbest dumbfuck he’s ever seen.” – 11:59 AM

“Driver waves something in guy’s face, yells “get out”. Guy stands on steps, driver opens and closes doors on him, yell at each other more.” – 12:03 PM

“Doors close on guy, he picks up a half full anchor steam from a now-empty outdoor table at bougie pac-heights cafe. Walks away cursing.” – 12:07 PM

“Entire bus starts laughing. Hipster girl in big sunglasses, red flannel shirt and matching iphone case, says ‘This is why I love Muni.'” – 12:11 PM

And the grande finale!

“Several stops later, still in wealthy neighborhood, different crazy hobo type gets on bus, chanting ‘money talks, money talks.’ He pays tho.” – 12:15 PM

We’re guessing this ride was on the 22-Fillmore. What do you think? Had to be, right?

Video: Danish Ecstasy Bus

Legos, Hans Christian Andersen? Meh. This ridiculously awesome commercial for Midttrafik makes us want to fly to Denmark just to ride the bus.

According to a commenter, here’s the narration:

Midttrafik presents … The Bus!
The bus driver is cool … “I’m cool…”
Top nice seating
Gigantic panoramic windows … with impressive scenic view
Designer bells with cool functions
Free handles
It is big… and long
It has its own lane
Yeah, it’s street … and it also runs a[t] night
“I’m still cool”
Yes, the bus is cool, so get up ealier tomorrow and get a good seat
Midttrafik … we’ll handle the driving for you.

Wow.

Video: The Ups and Downs of the 38-Geary

4 comments

The 38-Geary is one of the most storied lines on Muni Diaries, and here’s a video collage of the ups and downs of this line, by “Party of the Third Part.”

In no particular order, you can see the 38-Geary in any of the following shenanigans:

  • Spewing mystery green fluid
  • Breaking down and being towed
  • Articulating all over the TL

And bonus footage of an unnamed rider balancing a cup of soda on a pizza box, one-handed. Them’s skills.

Video: A Day In The Life of a Muni Transfer

4 comments

The life of a Muni transfer ain’t easy, especially if you’re bigger than everybody else. Mike Torchia and John Espey blew up a Muni transfer to take it around town, and fellow passengers acted like it’s no big deal. Which is why I love San Francisco, really.

But will station agents let these filmmakers catch a ride using their life-size transfer? One way to find out, if you’ve got 10 minutes handy for this ode to the humble transfer.
