Only on BART: Motorized Scooter
Looks like someone took the lifting of the ban on bikes on BART to the next level already.

Dear drivers of the 37-Corbett

Muni rider Pete has some opinions to share with you all.
Dear 37 Muni Drivers.
I really don’t like you. You constantly fly up and own Corbett ignoring the posted speed limit. Dogs, cats, kids, cyclist and any living thing on that street is in serious danger when you fly by. Not only is the speed you travel at completely unacceptable but you have a blatant disregard for the rules of the road as you straddle the double yellow line forcing everyone to swerve into parked cars along the roadside. You fly around blind corners and simply create a lot of stress in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood. Please consider using Market street for your traverse up the east face of Twin Peaks. The neighborhood will thank you for it.
😛
We’re confused by the ending, too. Is Pete kidding? But he sounds so, so … serious.

The end of the strike wasn’t the only BART news yesterday. And how.
“Leslie Bailey, 28, was arrested May 8 shortly after a BART train operator saw him on on his knees in the nearly empty first car, thrusting his pelvis against a seat next to the cab.
“Bailey, who boarded the Dublin-Pleasanton train at the 16th Street Station, exited at Civic Center but returned to his paramour just before the doors closed, according to the San Francisco public defender’s office. The operator testified that she then saw him gyrating on his stomach, his feet in the aisle, before he flipped over and began masturbating and smoking crack cocaine.”

And here I thought people were only having sex with each other on BART (NSFW link). Shows what I know.
Spotted on Muni: Ur doin it rong, Captain
Oh man, I’m probably too something to offer fair commentary here. I’ll just leave it at a simple: “Kids these days …”
P.S. Captain Morgan-ing is so last year.
