Spot the Parrot on Muni

Our Twitter wires are buzzing with two sightings of a gentleman rider with his pet parrot (or is it a cockatoo?). First @dleesf spotted him napping comfortably while the pet parrot enjoyed the view out the window.

Then another rider reported a sighting of this tropical duo. @DukeofMergers spotted the same rider on his bus with the parrot on his shoulders.

Any more sightings of this parrot or other creatures of note today? We can’t get enough of the Muni zoo.

Muni Rap: I’m on the Bus!

Local hip-hop artist Satellite High pays tribute to a San Francisco must: Muni, of course. His new song is called “I’m on the Bus!”

And it’s better than a boat.

Here’s what the Satellite High says about the song:

Finding himself on the bus, our hero begins to relax and fantasize about a perfect world, one where he is recognized as a bus superstar and doors open automatically for him wherever he steps.

The bus makes several wrong turns, though, and interrupts our narrator’s reverie as he berates the driver for his carelessness before eventually disembarking at his home.

On Twitter, @rsomething hipped us to the song, which even samples the Cantonese and Spanish versions of Muni announcement.

The album was just released but it has that nice mellow ’90s hip-hop flavor. The full album is an ode to the bus (listen on Satellite High’s Bandcamp page).

Just Kidding on the N-Judah

Brady posted this anecdote on yesterday’s post about N-Judah weekend service changes. She’s a quirky one, the N.

You’ll love yesterday’s N adventure. We get to Castro right before the tunnel, and the driver announces (after being stalled for 20 minutes): “My supervisor says all of you have to get off and I have to turn back to pick up more people.”

We all get off the train, it’s 8:30 am. After 5 minutes he opens the doors and says: “Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on here. My supervisor now understands it’s rush hour and we shouldn’t do that. Another supervisor overrode him. You may get back on.”

Some sense in the WTF fog, then. See also: SIKE.
