I’ve been out of town while Jeff held down the fort for the majority of this month. On my way to pick up my keys from the housesitter last night, a group of grungy punk kids with various musical instruments got onto the 22, and the entire front of the bus moved back away from the kids. I guess they hadn’t showered in a few days or weeks. One brave (and polite) soul stayed in the front of the bus and opened the window instead. Later in the evening I ran into the same kids on Haight street, asking me for money “for booze.” Ah, San Francisco, I’ve been away too long!

MTA says West Portal westbound faregate construction will begin Monday and last through Wednesday next week.
Also, MTA finally got around to announcing (and everyone and their mother reporting) what we posted in June: The paper version “A” Fast Pass (BART and Muni) will be phased out in November. October’s pass will be the last one.
Enjoy the photo and your weekend, and remember to share your life on Muni with us!
