Found this photo, suspiciously dropped to our Muni Photos Flickr group, despite its having been taken in Phoenix. Here’s what Andy54321 has to say about it:
I knew it existed but it’s the first time I’ve seen bikes on an LRV.
A show of (internet) hands: Who’s jealous by this photo?

Muni rider Katy G. asks the following:
I am trying translink for the first time and was wondering if there are any demagnitization issues with the cards. I carry an electronic ID for work, a smart phone and would like to avoid that hassel.
Surely they’ve got to be better than BART cards when it comes to demagnetization. Surely.
Any TransLink cardholders out there care to weigh in?

Well, despite today’s accident involving the M-Ocean View and a car, it was a way better week for Muni. Right?

So I just straight-up took this photo from Amy (augustincic)’s Twitter feed without asking. Sorry about that. Just too gal-dang cute to pass up. All that Amy had to say was: “Following Muni rules!” Damn straight.
As the owner of a snout-deficient pooch myself, this absolutely kills me.

It’s a Muni closet.
It only looks like it is… it’s just a random pile of clothes thrown up there, like a rolling closet.
