That’s the emergency exit hatch on a 22 Fillmore bus being held closed with a plastic shopping bag and a shoelace.
You might remember the SFWeekly report earlier this summer that detailed the maintenance issues at Muni, where fixes included the use of garbage bags. Pretty good advertisement for Glad bags.
Thanks for dropping this off on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, Sergio!

We’re less than a week away from our second live show of the year, where you can hear true and hilarious Muni stories on stage. We’re always amazed and honored to see so many of you at our shows, but we know that occasionally the shows can become as crowded as a 38-L in the morning. So this time we’re aiming to do a lot better in terms of crowd control — we’re getting more chairs and staffing the door better so you have more breathing room to hear funny transit tales and share a drink or three with your friends and fellow riders.
Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours. We can’t wait to see you!
Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Nine people were hurt in a collision in the Financial District that sandwiched a car between a Muni bus and a streetcar, CBS Local reports. Several of our sources were on the scene on Market and Battery and sent us these photos. The accident caused traffic delays and was reported around 12:20 p.m., according to SF Appeal.
emergency_in_sf tweeted a photo of the scene. Looks like the rear of the car got it pretty bad.
