Ariel (of ‘You’re Already Dead‘ fame) is back with another intriguing tale of life on Muni.

Muni operator asked me why I took a picture of the bus, said he had to write it up for his supervisor. I kept asking him why he needed to know why I took it, he said he was just asking, but also needed to know so he could write it up. I kept asking why he needed to write it up and he finally said “Was there something on the bus that you were taking a picture of?!” I said no and he gave up.

Yeah, file this one in the “Huh?” folder. Also, too: Nice photo, Ariel!

Update (9:05 p.m.): Mike updated Flickr with a better photo of the situation at Market/Clayton. He says:

The foreground bus seems to have gotten stuck when the driver took the turn way too tight, as evidenced by the fact that thing isn’t anywhere near the line it normally takes (painted on the ground). It was so far off, he couldn’t get it attached to the cables and had to just park it while he waited for help.

It sat there for a bit over half an hour, snarling traffic in both directions of Market and up Clayton. Eventually some help arrived and they managed to connect it back into the grid long enough to get it out of the intersection. Amazingly, through all of that time, most people still sat and patiently waited on the bus.

Thanks, Mike!

Original post:

Mike Dillon suggests, “Betcha you’ve never seen two 33s take this turn at the same time before…” You’re right, Mike. To which I’d add, “Dayum!”

@ringleader3 sends this one in. Muni’s better angels, and all that.

“check out this muni driver and riders helping a little old lady move her dead car out of the way of the L.”

Thanks, @ringleader3!

Found this great photo on Flickr. Pretty eerie.

Oh, hey, we have a Flickr pool. Won’t you drop something in?
