“Excuse me, dear Muni driver, but where is this streetcar going?”
Of course, this isn’t the first confused Muni vehicle we’ve encountered. To wit:
More Muni Identity Crisis: J-Stonestown?
The 29/NX Sunset WTF?
Via Muni rider Ryan: “Even the train finds switchbacks confusing.” To say the least …
I swear, I just had breakfast. But now I’m hungry. And grossed out. But mostly hungry.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Buzz-item/fetish tech object Google Glass was just bound to be spotted on Muni one of these days. Here, then, is the first time we’re recording a sighting.
We hope he fared better than, well, you know who.

This isn’t the first time someone has found a Muni transfer in a used book. We should all be so lucky.

Via Apotek Hjärtat – Blowing in The Wind from Ourwork
A recent ad campaign in Sweden left subway riders doing a double take thanks to one of the coolest electronic billboards ever. Created for Apotek Hjärtat’s Apolosophy hair products, the billboard was rigged so that a model’s hair would begin blowing every time a train entered the station.
If only we had something to make waiting a bit more interesting around here. Muni and BART advertisers, it’s time to step it up.
