Beth’s ride on the 9-San Bruno took an odd turn the other day after she saw someone scribbling away at the note above. It reads, for the most part:
Skurry. Intriguing.
What’s going on on your Muni rides?
Oh, who am I kidding with that headline. It’s hard out there for a Muni driver, though, no joke.
This here from @greendressgirl on a 36-Teresita.

“Crazy guy gets on muni, refuses to pay. Bus driver stops the bus and says we ain’t goin nowhere til you pay. Guy curses at bus driver.” – 11:58 AM
“Guy stands over bus driver, threateningly, yelling that he’s been in this town 20 yrs and driver is the dumbest dumbfuck he’s ever seen.” – 11:59 AM
“Driver waves something in guy’s face, yells “get out”. Guy stands on steps, driver opens and closes doors on him, yell at each other more.” – 12:03 PM
“Doors close on guy, he picks up a half full anchor steam from a now-empty outdoor table at bougie pac-heights cafe. Walks away cursing.” – 12:07 PM
“Entire bus starts laughing. Hipster girl in big sunglasses, red flannel shirt and matching iphone case, says ‘This is why I love Muni.'” – 12:11 PM
And the grande finale!
“Several stops later, still in wealthy neighborhood, different crazy hobo type gets on bus, chanting ‘money talks, money talks.’ He pays tho.” – 12:15 PM
We’re guessing this ride was on the 22-Fillmore. What do you think? Had to be, right?
In no particular order, you can see the 38-Geary in any of the following shenanigans:
And bonus footage of an unnamed rider balancing a cup of soda on a pizza box, one-handed. Them’s skills.
The life of a Muni transfer ain’t easy, especially if you’re bigger than everybody else. Mike Torchia and John Espey blew up a Muni transfer to take it around town, and fellow passengers acted like it’s no big deal. Which is why I love San Francisco, really.
But will station agents let these filmmakers catch a ride using their life-size transfer? One way to find out, if you’ve got 10 minutes handy for this ode to the humble transfer.
