Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
There you have it, folks. We can wrap this thing up and call it an era. The winner at losing has settled the score once and for all.
Via BART rider John: “Everything annoying about tech hipsters on SF transit in one pic: bringing your own bouncy-ball chair onto BART.”
It was quite a ride, wasn’t it?
Lucia is a graphic designer. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that she digs San Francisco and its hills and public transportation. Just a wild hunch.
“I’m a graphic designer new to San Francisco (Outer Richmond). Just wanted to share a recent project I created. A poster showing the topography and landmarks for Muni 38L route.”

Looks like humans aren’t the only species that like to get a little shut eye on the bus. Last week, a fox snuck onto a city bus in Ottawa, Canada, and fell asleep in a seat in the back, before an employee noticed and snapped a picture (seen above). According to news reports, the bus had been parked in a garage for maintenance at the time and the fox got in through an open door. It ran off when officers boarded the bus to take a look at it.
The photo, which quickly became a hit on social media, shows the fox sleeping peacefully, all curled up and cute. If you could only say the same for the guy passed out on Muni next to you.
It’s not every day that you spot the Caped Crusader on your way to work. In fact, it happened yesterday to our friend We Built This City (above).

Funny how the recent past can look so dang old. Full-size image here.
BART rider Charles sent this relic. Here’s what he had to say:
This is a severely beaten BART map found at Powell, circa late ’90s-early 2000s, as it still shows extensions to Baypoint and Dublin still under construction. I spotted this not too long ago, though I think the only reason that it was around was that they seemed to be changing all the advertisements in the station that night. I’m not entirely sure on that though, so it may still be up there. I wonder whether any French tourists got confused.
Easy answer: Yes, tourists are confused. Hella.
This reminds me of how, every time we’re at Powell, Tara looks for the super-secret door that used to lead up to Woolworth’s.
