Super Bowl Dogs on Muni and BART

SB_doge_gera

Okay, confession: We don’t run this site because we love public transit and how it’s the place so many of our lives intersect, how it’s a great San Francisco shared experience, or sometimes, how it’s just plain funny AF.

Book lovers meet in a totally karmic moment on Muni

Things don’t always … how to say this? Don’t always gel or align on Muni. But when you’re deep into reading an actual book* and look up to see that another rider is reading THE SAME EXACT BOOK*, what else can you do but strike up a convo?

This exact thing happened recently to Muni rider Stan: “Making friends the old fashioned way: talking to strangers about books.”

Bravo!

BART unveils new sleeper car

BART really needs to revisit its slogan. It’s not always “BART, and you’re there.” It’s often “BART, and you are lulled to sleep by the stress and activities of your day coupled with the sound and feel of the train’s wheels on the rail tracks, you sleep deeply, miss your stop, and then you’re … well, there.” Just not the there you wanted.

Hey, at least he’s not blocking the entrance/exit to the train?
