He says:
I ran into Mr. Waters on the 49 last week — he was very polite and seemed kind of tickled that he got recognized by someone who was polite enough not to hassle him. I actually expressed surprise that I ran into him on the bus and his response was (roughly — I’m afraid I didn’t take notes) ‘I LOVE the bus! You meet all the interesting people on the bus.‘ I’d love to see him as the spokesman of Muni — or as the voice of Muni.
There’s some more incentive in case you need it, Mr. Waters. We’re behind you 100-percent.
What’s next, “Crikey, move to the back before I piss me knickers!”?

Muni station diaries are a cousin of Muni diaries. Not quite the same when you’re stationary. But things. They happen. And they happen underground.
Witness @fizzylex‘s retelling in this tweet:
“There is a string quartet at Montgomery Station playing Bohemian Rhapsody.”
Wonder which instrument played “Scaramouche! Scaramouche! Will you do the Fandango?!”
