So nice of this person to leave some kind words for the person after them. Wait, WHAT!?!?!?!?

Derek from Network Osaka sent us this well-thought-out collection of new designs for Muni. Derek started with the beloved Muni worm, which apparently lost its holiday weight already, and worked his way through redesigning entire vehicles, uniforms, signs, stations, and even passes.
The last time we visited a Muni redesign experiment, Robert Padbury went in an entirely different direction (and one I didn’t care for at all). I liked Jeremiah’s Muni tweak more.
Take a look at Derek’s Muni redesign page and let us know what you think.
Perhaps these fireplace implements are on their way to somewhere in the United States, where it’s very cold right now. Hey, better there than here!
BART rider Toviyah spotted this on the Richmond line around Christmas.

My company makes us play bingo at the holiday party in order to try to win our annual bonus. First-world problems, to be sure, but there you go.
A few weeks ago, I was talking with a coworker about the party the next day. Little did I know what I was in for.
“Get this—[friend in common] found a Golden Ticket in her bag the next day. I wonder if it was for one of the big prizes?! She’s hoping she can still redeem it…
The only thing I found in my bag was a business card with a picture of a half-naked, grinning, flexing man on it. Yep, the creeper on my bus ride home slipped that nice prize in.”

They teach us in driving school that car horns are only to be used in emergency situations, not as a catch-all communication device. But until telepathy rules the day, that ain’t happening. No, it’s all in how you use your vehicle’s tooter. Muni rider TransitMan found one bus driver who sounds like a master.
I was riding the 1-California outbound on a weekday and came across a honk-happy driver. This driver’s honks weren’t rude but just two light taps.
