Five oh-so-San Francisco things on Muni

Love it, hate it. Look forward to getting away, then die of homesickness. It is San Francisco, and in these five examples, it plays out in all corners and rolling buses of the city.
- #muni bus smells like Lysol. don’t know whether I should be excited it’s clean or wary of why they used Lysol.
- Carrying a yoga mat and a day’s worth of juice in glass cans while riding #Muni in heels is some sort of sport.
- there is seriously a dude dumping hot sauce in his Pepsi on the 49 right now. #spicy
- “You may not love #Muni, but remember folks, Muni loves you!” – thing my N driver actually just said over the intercom
- OH on #sfmuni this morning: I donno what they tell you at school, pcp is off the hook

Spotted on Muni: Reusable shopping … trash bin?
Not everyone is on board with the whole reusable shopping bags gig. We get it. New habits and all.
But Muni rider Roger spotted an upright citizen taking things to a whole new level. Roger?
This guy got the L Inbound, and brought a trash can with him. He was digging it and taking his grocery shopping out of there and having a little snack during his trip to downtown.. Definitely things that you don’t see every day (at least not inside the muni).
I mean just wow.
Muni Weather Report
The “weather” inside Muni often doesn’t match what’s going on outside. That was especially true for Muni rider Stephanie recently:
“It was a clear night but it was weirdly raining in my @sfmta_muni train.”
Weirdly, indeed. Here’s hoping that Stephanie and her fellow passengers survived the deluge.

At least someone isn’t hunting Muni bus drivers

I mean, right?
This American Life recently aired a crazy story called, “Diana, Hunter of Bus Drivers.” Here’s a sample:
“The first murder happened at 7:45 am, on August 28th, on bus route 4A. That morning, a woman hailed bus 718, climbed the steps, pulled a gun and shot the driver. The driver jumped out of the bus trying to escape but died on the sidewalk. The killer, witnesses said, was a middle-aged woman with dyed blonde hair — or maybe it was a wig — wearing a cap, plaid shirt and jeans. Nobody saw how she escaped. Or at least nobody would say.”
Read or listen to the rest of this story out of Juárez, Mexico on the TAL website. Then thank your Muni driver on your next ride.
