Photo Diary: The Answer Is Yes
Clipper Card Reader Tagged the Wrong Time?
Photo by Agent Akit
A few weeks ago my wife and a friend of ours boarded Muni at about 5:45 p.m. in the Inner Sunset. When they got off at Civic Center a little after 6 p.m., they were stopped by fare inspectors who scanned their Clipper cards. It was then that they were told the system registered them having boarded at 4 p.m., and that they’d be issued a ticket for riding with an expired fare.
Their well-documented petition was denied, and to even fight it they have to pay the $103 fine.
If this has happened to you, were you able to petition the ticket? Let us know what happened.
Alert: Hot Scot on Muni

Stop the presses. There is a hot Scot on the bus. Or at least @Anzermo thinks so.
While the degrees of hotness definitely depend on personal preference, I can see why this dapper Muni passenger was bestowed the title of “Hot Scot on the bus.” Let’s break it down:
- He is checking his phone and indifferent to his own spectacular style.
- His tie matches his kilt.
- His socks look woolly and comfortable, hinting at potentially muscular calves.
My only regret is that we can’t see his shoes.

Video: Antwerp Rail Travelers Channel Their Inner Bond
Coke Zero (you know, the man’s diet drink?) put together this pretty ingenious promotion in conjunction with the release of the new James Bond movie, Skyfall. Travelers at an Atwerp train station were given the chance to be 007 and had 70 seconds to get to a designated platform and win movie tickets. Sounds easy, right? Well, not quite.
Some of the obstacles the amateur Bonds encounter:
- workers moving a large sheet of glass
- a toppled cart of oranges
- escalator-hogging joggers
- a crazy lady in a red dress
The video is quite funny but it begs the question … Could a contest like this ever be held here?
