Going “Seconds to thirds” on Muni
Nothing like a beer-bottle opener to bring people together. But shouldn’t they have offered some to the Napolean Dynamite guy in the red jacket?

Muni’s tender relationship with vulgarity

We’ve all “seen some things” in our time, especially on Muni. But this one … I mean, really.

For the record, I also would’ve called her an asshole. Who kicks a dog? UGH
Lost: Girl on the 38-Geary
Muni rider Caroline sent this ad over and dropped a bit of encouragement: “She’s out there!”
Hey, “Girl on 38 bus last night,” this person has charm, but maybe they lack descriptive imagination. Just sayin’.
Here’s another real love note worthy of mentioning: Thank you for making eye contact
Five Muni Moments: BART vs. Muni
The topic for this week is BART. Specifically, how the strike highlights the differences between BART and Muni. As usual, you guys don’t fail to heed the call:
1. As crappy as #sfmuni is sometimes today I’m glad I don’t commute on bart #bartstrike
2. OH: I have to leave early to mentally prepare for all the people, lines and crowds. Me: I HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY DAY #Muni
3. One day of the #bartstrike should give a tiny insight into how awful #sfmuni is daily.
4. Shoutout to #SFMuni for takin’ it enjoyably high up the ass for #Bart
5. Even with the strike, #BART is getting just as many people to their destinations on-time as #SFMuni is: zero.

Attack of the Grape Turd
First rule of riding Muni: that’s not water on the seat. Here’s another important lesson, especially if you’re a newbie on Muni this week during the BART strike, as Muni rider D reports:
So I was headed home on an inboud 38L yesterday that was *extremely* crowded. As I made my way to the back I saw an open single seat and made my way over. Curiously, no one was willing to sit in it. On closer inspection I saw just *why* no one was grabbing such a coveted seat.
At first I thought that someone had somehow left a tiny turd but on a better look, I saw that it was nothing more than a squashed grape.
Ah, for the want of a napkin….

Top Five Pride-Worthy Muni Moments

This week’s Muni moments are as jubilant as they come! On the heels of Prop 8 and DOMA decisions and Sunday’s Pride Parade, here are this week’s best moments on Muni:
1. Waiting for Muni is like a filibuster. Eventually you’ll succeed, but you just have to go thru it all again tomorrow.
2. Bus driver singing, telling passengers to get married on the bus, telling jokes #loveislove #pride #doma.
3. How can the N-Judah be late on a #history making day? Maybe the driver is reading @SCOTUSblog?
4. Equality for all sign on Muni means that much more now, said one rider.
5. Guy in front of me literally covered in head to toe with shiny beads and mini disco balls.
