Gene at Hoodscope sent over this photo of his seat mate on the K. Thank goodness for riders like Gene, who, instead of just staring at the Muni Superhero, decide to have a conversation with the man himself.

Muni Bike Rack Protester
Damn, this guy has some balls. According to @johnnytravis’s tweet:
Man defies Muni driver who refuses to open door by stopping to read book on bike rack
Well-played?
Weekend Photos: Blow your horn
Photo by Flickr user fsquared
How was your week? Ours? Well, the usual. Not enough hours in the day, or days in the week, or weeks in the … ah, never mind. Here’s your weekly roundup of Muni news:
– 21st Century Barn Raising (Market Street Railway)
– Six Injured In Muni Bus-Van Crash (KTVU)
– Supes Propose Massive Changes To How The SFMTA Runs (SF Appeal)
– Gavin’s Delay In Appointing SFMTA Board Members Might Be Holding Up Service (SF Appeal)
– SFMTA’s St. Francis Circle Project Means West Portal Street Closures, Muni Service Disruptions, Parking Problems (SF Appeal)
– The real reason Muni stopped fare enforcement saturations (SFGate)
– The politics of restoring Muni service (City Insider)
On Monday, we posted a video that eventually went, how you say, viral. It shows bus riders in Copenhagen showing love for their bus driver by serenading him on birthday. *Tear* Later that day, we ran a few Muni-related Bay to Breakers photos we found. We put a question in to MTA concerning where the money comes from to run B2B shuttles. We’ll let you know what we hear back.
Don’t forget to send your Muni stories here, and your Muni photos here.
Have a good weekend! See you Monday.

Photo Diary: 38-Geary Reimagined
Photo by Shaun Roberts
I found this photo of the 38-Geary by photographer Shaun Roberts by chance on Flickr. The man in the foreground looks very Jason Bourne to me, very me-against-the-world, alone in the big city kind of thing. Or maybe I’m just projecting…you decide.
Got great photos of Muni? Send it our way and join our Flickr pool.

Happy riders
Just yesterday, we posted about a bus full of riders made happy all because of their beloved Muni driver, Tammy. Today, Muni rider Vivek sends the photo above, and has this to say:
It seemed like there was partying going in the back of the trolly. I could hear their laughter from across the street.
With this weekend’s service reductions coming up, it’s nice to have some sunshine in the land of Muni tales, right?
