Muni, personified, talks NextBus

next_bus

Julian has a rad little illustrated comic for you. We applaud this rather accurate take on what the K-Ingleside as a human would be like. Here’s the caption:

“Let’s see. If I hand my NextBus tracker to that taxi, he can take it to the cable cars, who can put it on the actual cable for awhile before passing it on to a tour bus, which can hopefully meet up with an outbound J, which will be close but not too close … yeah I think they’ll never catch me then!”

You’ve seen Julian’s work on Muni Diaries before: In 2012, he came up with the then 100-year-old Muni system as a person. Nice work.

This week’s Muni moments have been categorized under WTF? They deserve all the all-cap treatments in the world.

1. The 43 Masonic bus driver is wearing a bike helmet. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
2. Big up to the guy resting his gut on my shoulder on the N line.
3. The STINKIEST guy got on Muni and proceeded to use hand sanitizer?
4. Listening to a conversation between two 40-something males: “When I first started tweeting…” “Facebook’s for old fucks.”
5. See above photo.

This week’s Muni moments were brought to you by @glittershaker, @shireescarlet, @thisbeazy, @continents, and @ohhellocookie.

Coffee Spill on Crowded 71L

Muni rider Michelle W. observed some exemplary behavior on the 71L-Haight/Noriega Limited the other day when a man spilled his coffee. One point for humanity.

This morning, a man spilled his coffee on one of the new hybrid electric buses. He asked for newspapers from passengers, got none, so he took off his shirt and mopped up the mess. Kudos to him, wherever he is now.

That is pretty sweet. Could it be the same mighty good man we spotted earlier this year?
