The illustrious Doc Pop sent us an adorable Postagram (picture below) the other day of these stuffed animals watching over the Potrero Yard. Here they are again, by reader Raymond Ruiz and Nick Fisher. There is always room for cuties on the bus.

1. Being the background to contagious, inexplicable laughter.
2. Having drivers who are patient enough to wait as we sprint toward the bus.
3. Being the vehicle for a Lady Gaga Poker Face sing-along.
4. Speaking of singing, lots of us are thankful for the singing driver who makes announcing the stops a daily entertainment.
5. Being the absolutely essential element in gorgeous photographs of San Francisco, like in this black and white photo gallery of Muni.
Got your own reasons? Let us know. We’re always thankful for your stories, comments, and photos, any day of the year.

The 24 Street BART Station has reopened after closing for several hours this afternoon due to a fatality on the tracks. A man stepped out on the tracks and was struck by the BART train, reports The San Francisco Appeal:
According to BART spokesperson Luna Salaver, a man reportedly laid down on the tracks in front of A San Francisco International Airport-bound train at 3:20 this afternoon.
As of 5:15 PM, BART says major delays continue in the SFO, Millbrae and East Bay directions, but the 24th Street station has reopened.
MissionLocal has an eyewitness report:
The train travelling from 16th street came to an abrupt stop at the 24th St. Mission station, according to Mike Meenan, a passenger on the train. Meenan said the train driver announced an emergency evacuation over the loudspeaker. Meenan also noted that the conductor sounded shaken and out of breath when he made the announcement.
Then Meenan, who was sitting towards the front of the train, overheard the conductor ask: “Sir, are you under there?”
We’ll keep you updated if more information becomes available.
