Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
This photo was shot well before Halloween, but that mere fact doesn’t stop some people. BART rider Kath, who sent it to us, has the following to say:
Hey guys, taking a break from my usual Muni submissions to forward the attached picture I just received from my co-worker. I give you: BART Bucket Head!
Perhaps chicken bucket as an effective means for masking the typical BART car odor?
Stranger things have appeared on the pages of Craigslist …
Muni rider James sends us this dispatch from the underground:
No costume maybe?
Seen something ironic somewhere in the Muni system? Let us know.

BART rider Barb alerted us to the following: a video of a man walking shirtless through a series of moving BART cars, set to the tune of Scott McKenzie’s song, “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”
Some of the riders’ reactions are priceless.

BART rider Jane writes the following bit of observation:
I saw this last week at around 4pm – I thought segways were supposed to be the transportation of the future, so BART wouldn’t be necessary, right?
Send us your BART observations!
Update:
Got a partial translation from a Chinese-speaking source. According to our source:
The two women started having an argument about an available seat. As the clip progresses with both women arguing, saying “Fuck you” and “you’re stupid,” a bystander said in Cantonese something akin to, “Don’t get excited, talk to her slowly.” According to our commenters, more than one bystander could be heard saying, don’t fight, don’t fight. As the argument escalated and the women begin physically fighting, a second bystander said in Cantonese, “Hit her, hit her, hit her, hit her until she’s afraid.” Then a third bystander pulls them apart as you can see in the video clip.
This whole exchange is really disturbing. Can anybody else verify what was being said?

Okay, this is really ugly. But we couldn’t not post it, could we?
We’re working on getting a translation for the lady not speaking English. We’ll update this post as soon as we get that.
