100 Muni StoriesThis tweet made me think of public transit planners, the people who ostensibly want a system of vehicles going from various Points A to B without much happening in between. Yeah, right.

@PickUpABook: Nothing eventful happened on my commute today. With muni, sometimes that’s the best you can hope for

We hear you. Although there are some experiences we hope for.

Our pal over at Burrito Justice has a “modest proposal” when it comes to the construction of the Central Subway:

Unless we see a change in the SFMTA’s attitude, we are left with no choice but to hijack the tunnel boring machine as it exits its tunnel at Columbus and Union and continue boring tunnels.

Simply catching sight of the tunnel-boring machine that will soon bore its way under Fourth Street set Mr. Justice’s synapses a-firin’. He lays his plan out in excruciating detail, then asks for a show of hands.

Our hands are in the air, sir. Enthusiastically.

Read the whole proposal at Burrito Justice.
