Your Tax Dollars at Work: Prof. Muni, Pt. 2

We love you. Really, we do. You might not think so after watching the video we’re linking today. It’s the follow up to SFMTA’s first PSA about all-door bus boarding, which we posted on Tuesday.

Here, the cringe factor has been dialed up to 11. The same awk off-camera eye angles for the professor are accompanied by Judy and Jerry, the model Muni citizen and her polar opposite.

Proceed with caution (apparently, SFMTA disabled video embeds for this one. Good call?) … video is here.

Prof. Muni Demo on All-Door Boarding

Okay, folks. It’s been two full days now of Muni’s official (as opposed to its unspoken) all-door boarding policy. Just in case you ain’t got the hang of things yet, allow SFMTA to guide you through this difficult transition in this tutorial shot in its “Muni Labs.” Yes, this video appears on SFMTA’s official YouTube channel.

Also: Double-yoo-the-fuck!?
