Muni boarding and fare changes start Sunday

Yep, July is right around the corner, folks. For Muni, that means two changes are about to take place: All-door boarding on all Muni vehicles and a slight fare increase for most passes.

The SFMTA website has details on both changes.

Under all all-door boarding, customers with valid prepaid Proof of Payment may enter through any door of any Muni bus or streetcar. — SFMTA

The fare increase affects passes only, not the fare for individual rides.

Muni passes increase in price effective with the July 2012 passes. Muni single-ride fares and Passports are not increasing at this time. — SFMTA

You Wanna Do What to Muni?

Anthony S. found this handmade note of angst (I think?) on a street pole on Stanyan Street.

Is “skull fuck” a new meme or an old meme coming back? “Skull Fuck was the Dead’s chosen name for their 1971 live album, which of course the record company rejected, so it became artistically by default named Skull and Roses,” according to a commenter in an earlier thread. We found two more skull fuck requests this way.

100 Muni StoriesIn which a Muni bus turns into every single one of my middle-school dances:

I love the Muni singalong for its complete absurdity and ability to create bonds between annoyed passengers. This isn’t the first time it’s happened, either: a couple years ago, F-Market/Wharves riders channeled Lady Gaga with “Poker Face.”

I’m almost certain there’ve been Journey singalongs — among others — that’ve gone undocumented, so spin us a Muni yarn today.
