Here are some examples of the whacky shit we all face day in, day out on Muni.

  • A couple took from Forest Hill to Van Ness to pick an Instagram filter. #sfmuni
  • Only on #sfmuni would you hear someone trying to buy drugs by offering to trade-in for some grapes.
  • Is being told I look like your “beautiful” prostitute ex girlfriend really supposed to be a compliment?
  • Just watched an empty Corona bottle get off this bus by itself.
  • The theme of today’s #sfmuni ride is ” every one smells like they have a poopy diaper! EVERYONE!” #washyourass
  • There’s nothing more humiliating than running after a #sfmuni as your pants fall down only for the doors to close on you.
  • #sfmuni drunk man asks tourist if daughter is wife. Drunk man forgets, repeats question. And forgets, again.

Careful out there, you guys. And have a great weekend!

You could help shape bus rapid transit on Van Ness Avenue

Van Ness bus rapid transit has become more and more a reality. SFMTA is now asking you (yes, you!) to participate in the Van Ness BRT Community Advisory Committee (CAC). From SFMTA’s website:

“The CAC will provide input to the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit project team by providing varied perspectives from the surrounding community and city, including feedback and guide decisions related to the design, construction and implementation of the Van Ness BRT. The issues, goals, and concerns relating to the surrounding community will be taken into consideration within the context of supporting this important project.”

Go to the SFMTA site to find out more about Van Ness BRT. Help shape what promises to be a big improvement for transit in San Francisco by applying for the advisory CAC here.
