Get Your Head in the Game
This is how my head feels when I wake up every morning. And that’s before I get on the bus for work.

Hanging on for Dear Life on Muni
You know and I know that this isn’t necessary, what’s happening in that there photo above.
But clearly, dude doesn’t know that. And for that, we thank him.

Woman Needs to Check Email Like Right Now

There are no limits to this woman’s productivity, everybody. Not even a crowded commuter train can hold her back, because this email is getting answered right now.
I guess the train is so packed that even if someone did try to snatch her laptop, the thief would have nowhere to run?
Muni signage-hack, Part 742
A friend from Texas describes life in SF as that of an ant hill, with what he sees as the mad-scramble that we’re all up to all the time.
That reminded me of the above: “Emerge like an ant ready to defend his pile of pebbles.”
Not bad advice. Not at all.

Muni Metro 3-car trains in October?

Gasp. Could it be true?
According to Streetsblog SF, Muni’s tests and software upgrades have been done, and three-car Muni Metro trains could come to the system’s underground stations as soon as late October/early November. You might no longer have to wonder why underground platforms are hella long, and the trains themselves are hella short.
We first learned of Muni’s plan to test three-car trains nearly two years ago. Nice to see the agency follow through.
As Streetsblog SF reports, Muni is also planning to implement “double-train loading.” That’s when, say, the K and the M pulling into a station and loading passengers at the same time. Genius!
