Muni Emergency Button Looks Appropriately Surprised

Someone decided to add a pair of eyes to the Muni emergency button. From photographer David Lytle:

Someone put googly eyes on emergency car stop button casing turning the forbidden red button into something much more hilarious. They also transformed the usual monotonous morning commute into a carload of passengers who briefly broke their silence and laughed together. Well played, witty vandal!

Well played indeed! Thanks, David!

100 Muni StoriesYou’re technically not supposed to eat or drink on Muni, but you’re technically not supposed to do a lot of things on Muni that happen anyway. We’ve had lots of stories of rogue bus eating — fact: eating Skittles ≠ eating soup — some of the most quintessential Muni moments. To whit:

I think I speak for all of us when I ask, “What kind of sandwich?” and say, “Of course she was.” We love public transit, too.

The booze culture on Caltrain has been taken to a whole new level. This happened to @ryanwj:

A random stranger just tossed me this on CalTrain. “It’s just one of those days,” he says. I guess it will be. #ILoveSF

Why does this never happen to me? All I do is watch bros open cans of Bud Light on their way to the game. Come on, pay it forward!

John Waters: ‘You Meet All the Interesting People’ on Muni

John Waters is occasionally (and awesomely) spotted on Muni. One time, in fact, he told us he’d love to be John Waters, Muni spokesman. That very story was one of our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories centennial favorites. Lo and behold, commenter Turner ran into him in May on the 49-Van Ness after we reposted that story. He says:

I ran into Mr. Waters on the 49 last week — he was very polite and seemed kind of tickled that he got recognized by someone who was polite enough not to hassle him. I actually expressed surprise that I ran into him on the bus and his response was (roughly — I’m afraid I didn’t take notes) ‘I LOVE the bus! You meet all the interesting people on the bus.‘ I’d love to see him as the spokesman of Muni — or as the voice of Muni.

There’s some more incentive in case you need it, Mr. Waters. We’re behind you 100-percent.
