Some people think Muni is the best to eat fried chicken, take a nap, or give yourself a manicure. But the San Francisco Chronicle thinks it’s actually the best place to get your flirt on. The paper presented 29 great spots for Bay Area singles, and Muni makes the list!

Thousands of Craigslist Missed Connections ads on Muni and pickup artist bootcamp can’t be wrong, right?

Making the moves on someone on Muni sounds awkward to me, but we know at least a few riders who met a cutie on the bus: Eric, Wil, and this mysterious note writer. What do you think? Should we get off OkCupid and start riding Muni more?

Dutch train passengers at the Overvecht Station can slide down into the train station if they’re late or just bored. Amy of Tiny Rides tipped us off to this fun bit of news from Holland, where this ‘transfer accelerator’ (slide) had been installed as “an alternative to stairs.”

Metro.co.uk has a video of a passenger sliding down to the train station.

I was expected the landing to be a little softer, but hey, it does look fun. Just imagine the liability issues if Muni installed a slide down to Powell station. I am guessing that we’ll have to go to Holland to slide into our commute.

Two Muni passengers were shot early Sunday morning in the city’s Visitacion Valley neighborhood, police said, according to a report from Bay City News via SF Appeal.

More from Bay City News/SFAppeal:

The shooting occurred aboard a Muni bus at Arleta and San Bruno avenues at around 1:15 a.m. The suspect, described as a black male, was not aboard the bus, according to police.

One victim was shot in the hand and the other suffered a gunshot wound to the neck.

Looks like the injuries are thus far not life-threatening.  We’ll keep you updated.
