Veteran Muni driver killed by waves in Marin

Jimmy Chiu drove for Muni for more than 30 years. Last weekend, Chiu, who loved to fish, was swept away and killed by a “sneaker wave” on the Marin coast.
KTVU has the story.
Fishing didn’t always bring joy. When the 61-year old Chiu was 8-years old, living in Communist China, he used to fish to put food on the table for his family.
“He swore he would never fish again,” said the younger Chiu. Years later, Chiu was looking forward to fishing in his retirement.
“That’s what he loved to do,” his son explained.
Chiu was getting ready to retire after 31-years as a Muni driver on the 38-Geary line.
“His coworkers deeply miss him for his smile and just his disposition,” said Muni supervisor, Ayn Antonio. “He had a very level headed disposition.”
Read the whole story at KTVU. We offer our condolences to Chiu’s family.
If you knew Chiu from his routes, let us know in comments, please.

Decorative pillow ‘celebrates’ the Giants, Muni
It’s that time of the (even-numbered) year again.
Dude, lighting Muni buses on fire when you’re happy is soooooooooooooo 2012, right? It could never happen again, could it?

It’s not just smells, anger, and despair. Muni is also a roving audio laboratory, much to the delight and chagrin of us all.
These fellow Muni riders clued us in some things they overheard on Muni this week:
- OH on Muni: “My cheek is sweating up my cellphone screen”
- [on the J] Guy on phone: Yes but he’s vegan and I’m not very vegan-friendly.
- Overheard at the #Muni stop: THIS IS THE LIVING WAGE!
- OH: and he was programming on a go cart-he’s that badass, oh and he has a masters too. never forgetting headphones again
All righty then.

‘The Devil is controlling Muni’
I love so many things about this drawing by Muni rider John. The fact that it explains everything might be the least interesting thing about it. The Devil wearing his name in two languages might be my favorite.
Note that the “bus” is moving backwards, which sounds about right most days. “Mostly late or delayed.” Yep.
