5-Fulton

Muni debuted a new line today: the 5L-Fulton Limited. It’s basically the 5-Fulton with limited stops and is meant to speed up rush-hour commutes along that line.

Here’s a sampling, good and bad, of what some of you had to say via Twitter this morning:

  • Derek: “The new 5L is life changing.”
  • Justin: “20 minutes from home to downtown; thanks SF Muni for the 5 Limited and for making Monday almost bearable. #sfmuni“
  • Laura: “#SFMuni success. Day one on the 5L and it was amazing.”
  • Ashley: “I was soo amped about the new 5L for my commute but the driver seems to not have been trained. Still [stopping] at every stop. #fail“

Well, we have “life-changing,” gratitude, “almost bearable,” “amazing,” and a driver that possibly missed the training session. Sounds like the 5L is fitting right in to the Muni fold. To all of our Richmond District enthusiasts: What colorful descriptions do you have for Muni’s new 5L-Fulton Limited?

Market Street Repaving Project
Beginning at 11 p.m., Friday and continuing through 7 p.m., Saturday, the San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) will repave five intersections on Market between 10th to 6th streets. At the same time, the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) will perform sewer work at the intersections of Grant Avenue, 9th and 10th streets at Market Street.

During the repaving work, no traffic will be allowed on Market Street, both directions between 11th and Turk Streets.

During the construction, Muni buses operating along Market Street between 11th and 3rd streets will be detoured onto Mission Street and will use existing Mission Streets bus stops. Muni buses which enter Market Street between Polk and Jones streets will be detoured onto Turk or Eddy streets and will use existing 31 Balboa line stops

The F Market & Wharves streetcar line will be substituted by bus shuttles between Castro and Fisherman’s Wharves.

The following Muni lines and routes will be re-routed:
L Owl
N Owl
5 Fulton
6 Parnassus
9 San Bruno
19 Polk
21 Hayes
71 Haight/Noriega

Five Muni seatmates

Sometimes it’s hard to be indifferent about the person sitting next to you on Muni. To wit:

  1. How do I say “Hi, I like your TARDIS keychain!” to a complete stranger on the train without being creepy? #muni
  2. Flattered, but taken, guy who won’t courtesy scoot on the empty 5-Fulton.
  3. OH on #Muni: “I’m an old man, what else am I gonna do? All I got to do now is DIE!”
  4. To the guy who thought it would be fun to suddenly take up half my seat when I took out my 3DS: may all your bacon burn.
  5. This guy is preaching about how the Douglas fir is the best Christmas tree ever. I love muni #munidiaries

Dear drivers of the 37-Corbett

Muni rider Pete has some opinions to share with you all.

Dear 37 Muni Drivers.

I really don’t like you. You constantly fly up and own Corbett ignoring the posted speed limit. Dogs, cats, kids, cyclist and any living thing on that street is in serious danger when you fly by. Not only is the speed you travel at completely unacceptable but you have a blatant disregard for the rules of the road as you straddle the double yellow line forcing everyone to swerve into parked cars along the roadside. You fly around blind corners and simply create a lot of stress in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood. Please consider using Market street for your traverse up the east face of Twin Peaks. The neighborhood will thank you for it.

😛

We’re confused by the ending, too. Is Pete kidding? But he sounds so, so … serious.
