What Google bus? Android commutes on Muni

Remember when people were all BOO GOOGLE BUS, go, Muni of the proletariat! Well, Google bus, shmoogle bus, says…Android?

Via @kacie69mustang:

The google android robot is riding the #muni 49. I wonder if that is the only green he owns.

Yep, Android. The beloved symbol of Google smartphonery, my Gmail theme, and my hallway (srsly, an Android Squishable is in my hallway) rides Muni like the rest of us. He/she/it even one-ups half of all Muni riders by standing in the elderly/disabled section, though I accept that it is probably impossible to sit in that outfit.

Google, you better hope it’s not checking an iPhone right now.

No, really, send Android-on-Muni sightings to @munidiaries on Twitter.

Five Muni Moments This Week

Leave a comment

seats

Five Muni moments captured on Twitter this week include:

  1. A woman who freaking pushed a kid to get a seat, then proceeded to sit in split coffee
  2. A clown on the bus, no bigs
  3. A man who (get this!) ran to the bus stop, brandished a styrofoam cup, peed in it, dumped it in the bushes, and boarded—he kept the cup
  4. A Muni rider lamenting arguments in languages she does not speak
  5. A Muni rider who did their fellow passengers a favor by spraying perfume on a “bum.”

This week’s Muni moments are brought to you with love by @loveoz13, @leximharvey, @gowestyoungtech, @goldfine, and @Tawana721. Remember to follow @munidiaries and share your whacky Muni tweets with the rest of us.

But you don’t know what’s on the floor of Muni!

@tomcarmony found some next-level sleeping on Muni Metro, and we wish there was a photo to go with his evocative description and, um, how-to:

I never realized you could just lay down on the floor of a Muni train, across the full width of the car, and just go to sleep. Good to know!

Aisle-horizontal is brave, though arguably more polite than, oh, taking up seats. Where do they think they are, Japanese transit?

Even Muni gets a tow in the rain

tow

Per Adam, who snapped this around Kearny and Sutter:

Rotten day to have to hook a bus up to a tow truck; I tip my hat to the tow-truck driver.

Thanks, Adam. We do, too.

So, for whom does this suck most?

  1. The tow-truck driver
  2. The commuters who undoubtedly got kicked off that bus

Mull that over while wishing for a drier commute home. I’m personally crossing all fingers and still-damp toes.

Not-Banksy on Muni

tagger

Ed note: I know, it’s not exactly weirdness on Muni, especially on a 49-Van Ness/Mission. But it’s pretty squarely WTF with a side of, “Really? Really.” Muni rider Chaz draws a distinction between beloved street art and your everyday tagger drawing on the bus:

I watched this shitstain and his crew get on the 49 northbound at Turk or so and proceed to very obviously and obnoxiously scrawl his handle on the ceiling of the bus. I was a few seconds too late to capture him in the act, but you can see the purple marker in his hand and the matching color of illegible text above his head. If the bus had played the “if you see graffiti in progress…” announcement or I just remembered the number I would have notified the authorities; instead in my powerlessness I turn to the internet hive.
