Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Reader Michele sent us this photo and said, “I was riding the 1BX this morning and this caught my eye. Not sure if was strategically placed to do just that or perhaps he was hiding some morning wood, but none the less it was distracting!”
Ah, morning humor.

One more thing before you wipe the sight of two people boning on BART out of your memory: here’s the audio response (creatively borrowed from BART’s intercom) regarding banging on public transit.
Listen to the audio reply on the “BARTsex” section of Josh Ellingson’s blog.
And SFGate reports that “BART police probe porn video shot on train.”
(Is everyone in the SFGate newsroom still giggling about using the word “probe” in that headline there?)
By the way, if you want to hear more candid opinions from the BART PA system, here’s “the truth about BART.”
Karen learned how to dance in a year, starting with a very awkward first day. She practiced everywhere and guess where she decided to show off her final accomplishment? At the South San Francisco BART station, of course.
People who watch me dance today sometimes assume I’ve been dancing for many years. I made this video so you could see the awkward body that started just one year ago.
Here’s my secret: I practiced everywhere. At bus stops. In line at the grocery store. At work — Using the mouse with my right hand and practicing drills with my left hand. You don’t have to train hardcore for years to become a dancer. But you must be willing to practice and you better be hungry.

Remember when Paris Hilton got famous for filming a sex tape? Looks like some people had the same idea, but instead of filming it at the Bellagio (which is like, who cares), these guys made a sex tape on BART. Ew.
Readers @realniggajay and @strawnarrybiebs sent this video to our little sis, @bartdiaries, and the video predictably made the internet rounds. If you are so inclined (and are safely out of the view of your coworkers), you can find the video on Vine. NSFW — you’ve been warned.
