The Muni Family welcomes you

This makes me think of what the Muni board game might look like. Maybe the object is to drive as many buses as you can all at the same time, a feat even SFMTA struggles with at times.

Via our friend at Tenderloin Geographic Society, who says, “it’s a manual for operators…and I’m willing to bet their manuals look a whole lot more clinical than this now. Charming, isn’t it?”

TGS spotted this at the SFPL’s “Cussed and Discussed” exhibit on Muni’s centennial celebration, which ends Thursday.

Video: Silent Disco Flash Mob on BART

Hey, a DJ is on BART but everything’s quiet, and why is everyone wearing headphones? We just got this flash mob video from Russ Megowan, who’s been doing these “silent disco” flash mobs on BART on Saturdays. The guys brought a box full of wireless headphones and a DJ setup, and promptly started a party in your ears (only) on a BART train.

It’s all fun and games until a BART cop shows up, so you should watch the video to see what happens.

Wallet Lost, Wallet Returned!

Reader Avi H. thought his wallet was lost forever, but sometimes the universe gives you a break, even when it’s on Muni. Here’s Avi’s story.

About three years ago, I was on the 66 heading inbound to go to school. When I left the bus, my wallet had fallen out of my hoody-jacket’s pocket and onto the seat. I got off the bus to wait for the 48 and started digging in my pockets to find the transfer. Unfortunately my wallet wasn’t there! I began panicking. I knew the likely story is that my wallet will never be returned. I called Muni Lost and Found, talked to other riders waiting at the bus stop, and even tried running after the bus.
(Side note: I am used to living in places where people do not return things, and thefts are of a daily occurrence.)
