Steven Seagal on the N?
Celebs riding Muni? What, it’s a possibility. Keanu Reeves, Hugh Jackman, Meryl Streep, and Madge have all been spotted riding the subway. I’m still waiting for my John Waters moment.

A few pieces of Muni news for you:

- Muni mechanic may be banned from working in SF after fraud allegation (SF Examiner)
- Mayoral candidates sound off on how to fix Muni (Haighteration)
- Youth Muni passes could cost $13M (SF Examiner)
Y’all had a lot to say about the free Muni for kids proposal. Could it “wean Americans off of our car fetish” as one commenter said, help poor family, or is it “asking for trouble,” to quote another commenter?
How to Give Up Your Seat on Muni Gracefully
Photo by jm3
This morning between around 9:00 a.m., this bigot (embracing the word f**got) wouldn’t move
his precious cargo for a disabled senior and his partner. The driver didn’t even tell this moron
to move his bags while he continued to belittle a disabled senior citizen.
Ok so this is not the graceful way to give up your seat on Muni. We’ve got some suggestions from our inbox on this matter.
For instance, recognize handicapped passengers, even those on crutches. And don’t take up three seats with your newspaper and manliness. Just a simple “Would you like to sit down” is nice, right? I’d say that elderly, handicapped, and pregnant women obviously qualify for the seats, but it’s still up for debate whether you should give up a seat for kids (and what size).
What’s your tip on giving up your seat?
