If you’re planning a grand heist involving a Muni shelter, Burrito Justice is here to help. He recently captured such a heist in action, as seen above and below, on Precita street.

Step 1: Obtain some fire trucks and firefighters to help you block off the street and oncoming traffic.

Step 2: Befriend your neighborhood tow truck operation and convince them that this is totally legit.

We know that someone out there actually has an old-school Muni shelter in their possession from our 2010 Great Muni Shelter Giveaway. I wonder if that particular Muni stop will make a Burning Man appearance any time soon …

Super Bowl Fan’s Guide to Riding Muni

Dear Super Bowl Fan,
By now you’ve probably realized that Levi’s Stadium is not in San Francisco, but your hotel most definitely is. Yeah, we know. But instead of standing in line at Super Bowl Fan Village (see our super helpful, super honest map here), we recommend that you get around town on Muni (that’s our bus) like a real local.

In short, Muni is $2.25 a ride, exact change, pay when you get on, keep the transfer (good for any direction for 90 minutes), and pull that cord to get off the bus. If you really want to look like a local, here are our best tips:

1. STEP DOWN! STEP DOWN!
2. When the recorded lady tells you to “Please Hold On,” she means it.
3. That’s not water on the seat.
4. Hold on to your cell phone and valuables.
5. Move to the back. No, really. You’ll get off the bus in time.
6. There’s no honest game of dice on the bus.

Who needs 311 when you can gripe about Muni old-school-style?

When you have a major Muni complaint and you have your Sharpie with you, this is the next natural thing to do. @axelfeldheim on Instagram found this at the 43-Masonic stop one day:

“12:31 a.m. (late Tuesday night 12-22). #43 driver refused to pick up disabled old woman who waited over 30 minutes for the bus. It is VERY cold out and is life threatening to do that to her. He should be fired and jailed.”

I too would be livid to see this happen to a disabled old woman. Hope she got home OK.
