Last week we posted a story by a rider who saw a medical emergency when the train was stopped in the tunnel. We asked SFMTA about the incident, and spokesperson Paul Rose explained that when this medical emergency happened, three other incidents were happening at the exact same time. Here’s what he told us.

We know they’re leaky. Many of us think they’re hideous. Then there’s this nifty optical illusion, which makes it all okay.
Here’s a closer look:
It would be cool if all the shelters were handed over to SF’s best street artists. There, I said it.

Or so Needs More Unicorns experienced recently:
“Sitting on the train reading TF2 fanfiction, I feel almost ashamed, until I notice that the lady to my left is reading Harry Potter fanfic (Snape/Hermione) and the lady to my right is reading Sherlock fanfic (Sherlock/Watson).”
Neato! Read the rest on Needs More Unicorns’ Tumblr. And yes, I had to look up TF2 also.
In store this lovely weekend (which can’t get started a moment too soon, amirite?), we have more Giants games, an SF Gaelic Athletic Association event on Treasure Island, and, well, whatever rad plans you have. Enjoy!

Sometimes I think Muni is our collective living room. But other times, people just get way too comfortable, as these five Muni moments of the week demonstrate. Important life question: How do you even measure the speed of kegels by bpm?
This week’s Muni moments were brought to you by @smiffleblurf, @ten_is_ha, @happysara89, @keaneiscool, and @mschung. What’s your Muni moment this week? Tweet it at @munidiaries and let’s blow up the party talk!
