So you’ve seen that story going around about the “25 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving to San Francisco,” right? The story names three things to know about Muni:
1) Google Maps is never right about what time the bus will come.
2) Half of the buses require you to step down into the steps to get the back door to open.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!
