Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Gotta get a little sports on you for a second. The Giants did not win the baseball game last night, and thus, did not win the World Series. It being a series, there will be another game tonight. Tonight’s game is the final game, no matter what*.
The Giants may win this baseball game tonight, and would thus win the World Series. There’s an equal chance that they will lose tonight’s game, and thus lose the series.
In any case, the message remains the same: Win or lose, please play nice with each other and with things like buses and bus shelters and, really, everything. If you have to burn stuff, burn trash. If you have to break stuff, make sure it’s your own stuff.
Lastly, go, Giants!
*For those of you anxious for it to all be over, your hour is almost upon us. Unless there’s a parade on Market Street, of course, in which case nah-nanny-nah-nah!
Please? Also: Please don’t break Muni if the Giants lose tonight. Or tomorrow. Photo by Mike Hendrickson
Above: Someone in 2012 got a little too happy about the Giants winning the World Series that year. That might happen again tonight. The Giants winning the World Series, that is.
If that happens, tonight or tomorrow, please don’t break Muni. Thank you.
I’m thinking a sudden stop right in front of your home, or your favorite bar, or AT&T Park … those would be heavenly, right?
h/t Muni rider Scary-blob: “Please hold on. Sudden stops are sometimes Heaven.”
Following a magical* World Series game, Tara and I magically* got to Second and Harrison just as the 12-Folsom was turning and about to pick up us and a half-dozen other elated baseball fans*.
I tend to board and head straight for the back row on empty or empty-ish buses like this one. Distracted by a bag of half-eaten fruit on the floor below my seat, I missed this Dean Martin record, just sitting there on that shelf in the back of the bus, chillin’.
That is all. A vinyl record on the bus. Perhaps someone can suggest at the next SFMTA budget meeting installing a turntable on Muni buses?
* The asterisks don’t mean anything, really, other than YAY, GIANTS!
