Sal Castaneda’s ‘Bad-Ass’ Muni Moment

We knew we had a treasure on our hands when Sal agreed to tell a story on stage at Muni Diaries Live last month. Today, we’re bringing Sal’s performance to the internets. Delight in hearing your KTVU traffic reporter sprinkle his tale of attempted (and imagined) bravado on the 44 with profanities. Safe work with headphones.

Thanks, Sal!

Muni Time Capsule: Tug-Metro Pulls Its Predecessor to Pasture

Over at Muni Time Capsule this morning, we bring video and photos of a scene earlier in the week. Using a two-car Breda LRV, Muni tugged one of its few remaining old Boeing streetcars from Mint Yard (behind Safeway on Market) to Metro Yard (near Balboa Park).

A New Twist on Photographing Muni

Ariel (of ‘You’re Already Dead‘ fame) is back with another intriguing tale of life on Muni.

Muni operator asked me why I took a picture of the bus, said he had to write it up for his supervisor. I kept asking him why he needed to know why I took it, he said he was just asking, but also needed to know so he could write it up. I kept asking why he needed to write it up and he finally said “Was there something on the bus that you were taking a picture of?!” I said no and he gave up.

Yeah, file this one in the “Huh?” folder. Also, too: Nice photo, Ariel!
