Mission Buses Rerouted for Upcoming Street Renovation

The 14, 14L, and 49 buses will be moved from Mission Street to South Van Ness for six months beginning early next month. MissionLocal reports that the reroute will span 14th to 26th streets to make way for roadwork in that area on Mission Street. Above, you’ll find a handy map of the affected area, via Mission Local.

So far, reaction ranges from “Oh, is this what that flier was about?” to “Really? We have to walk to Van Ness, practically the East Bay, to get on and off a bus?”

Thanks, MissionMission!

It’s in the Stars on Muni

In which an Aries tells it like it is (or like it should be) to a Leo on Muni. Color me initially skeptical, because “…it’s just that you have some really nice feet” rarely turns out well on the bus. @meganjelene sent this our way on the Twittersphere:

…”You’d be good with a Taurus guy.”

“Really? That’s crazy, both my parents are Taurus’ and they are the most stubborn people I know (well, other than me). I don’t think I’ve ever dated a Taurus.”

“Yeah,  Taurus or Sagittarius — another fire sign — ’cause they’d keep you entertained and going out to check out new things…” He then told me he was an Aries (another fire sign), although he didn’t recommend I’d be good with an Aries. 😉

His stop was before mine and he wished me a good night before pausing and deciding to ask me my name. I introduced myself and he told me his name was Lawrence and shook my hand. Along with his name, Lawrence gave me laughter, inspiration, the desire to look inward and a silly smirk I can’t wipe off my face.

So it goes: do we put mean face on or should we let it be and see what happens? This balance-seeking Libra wrestles with that question every time she gets on a 49. Either way, we always tell people about the guy we met on Muni, as crushworthy or cringe as he may be. Tell us about your guy or gal on Muni today.

Just Kidding on the N-Judah

Brady posted this anecdote on yesterday’s post about N-Judah weekend service changes. She’s a quirky one, the N.

You’ll love yesterday’s N adventure. We get to Castro right before the tunnel, and the driver announces (after being stalled for 20 minutes): “My supervisor says all of you have to get off and I have to turn back to pick up more people.”

We all get off the train, it’s 8:30 am. After 5 minutes he opens the doors and says: “Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on here. My supervisor now understands it’s rush hour and we shouldn’t do that. Another supervisor overrode him. You may get back on.”

Some sense in the WTF fog, then. See also: SIKE.

Muni to shut down N-Judah LRV weekend service for six weeks

Heads up: Starting next Friday, Muni will suspend weekend light-rail service on the N-Judah line between Ocean Beach and Church and Duboce. Sorry, people, they said they have to, as they work on two rail-improvement projects. Bus shuttles will take the place of streetcars from 8 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays along this stretch of the N-Judah’s route.

For more information on the service interruption, see SFMTA’s website.
