When they came for our paper Fast Passes, we … well, we said a lot.
Now, as SFBay reports, Muni is set to replace paper Muni transfers we’ve come to love and make hella art out of with fare boxes that print transfers on the fly. That won’t hold things up, nah.
The agency’s Board of Directors on Tuesday approved a plan to begin accepting proposals for the project, which includes a minimum of 1,250 new transit vehicle fareboxes.
…
A SFMTA staff report said there would be no need to provide drivers with pre-printed transfer booklets. The report also said new printed transfers would help with security issues like stolen transfer booklets.
What’s that you say? You have a Clipper Card and never use the transfers? Oh, but still. Times is a-changing.

Philip just passed his class B license test for Muni, and his wife and friends surprised him with this custom Muni cake. The 14-Mission looks pretty good in fondant, and who knows what stories lie beneath those tinted frosting windows!

But along the lines of “kitty crap,” one that still makes me giggle out loud.
These fake drink spill props are available, well, all over the internets. Ryan pointed them out to us in response to the following:
There's a bit of coffee spilled on the seat next to me, so no one will sit down. Might start using this. @munidiaries #wholerowtomyself

Would you use one of these? Or do you have some other form of trickery you use to save seats on Muni instead? If so, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU/LOL?

Stuart Smalley clearly left this littlel nugget of inspiration behind on a bus recently.
That, or it’s meant kinda sarcastically. “You are good enough,” as in, “Fine. You’ll do.” ell oh ell
