Play ball! SFMTA: Ride Muni to AT&T Park

A Parade For The World Champion San Francisco Giants

We relayed a message from SFMTA a few weeks ago about taking Muni to the ballgame. But now, things are different. We’re a mere 13 hours away from welcoming our very own World Series champs back to their home stadium, as the San Francisco Giants prepare to battle the St. Louis Cardinals in their first regular-season home game in 2011 tomorrow at 1:35 p.m.

So once again, SFMTA is urging you to consider not driving to the game, but instead taking Muni, a cab, or bicycle to AT&T Park. Oh, and eat hella garlic fries and sandwiches from Crazy Crab’z, also, too.

Go, Giants!

Teens Off-Board 44-O’Shaughnessy, Shooting Ensues

One comment

Muni rider Tony sent us these photos of this morning’s shooting. Some teenagers allegedly got off a 44-O’Shaughnessy and shot an 18-year-old (possibly 17) man.

Tony says:

I was on the 24 which had to turn around bc of “police activity”. Woman next to me was an aunt of the victim. Said he was just 17 and was shot because he refused to move his bag when asked. They waited for him to get off the bus and the started shooting him. She said he was shot 10 times.

SF Appeal has more on the story.

We don’t quite get why, either. Pascal shared this bit of skin art with us. Reminded us of some other curious epidermis inkings we’ve seen:


Last week, we posted this Fast Pass tattoo. Looks really detailed. And we agree: Muni operators should let her ride for free owing to this bit of awesomeness.


We found this amazing F-Market tattoo last June. The photo doesn’t do the tattoo justice.

This one still leaves us scratching our heads a little. But then, it involves the Muni worm logo, which, nuff said. Photo by 0x0000org

Via @cripsahoy, ‘Muni drinking game rules’

3 comments

did you know it's legal to drink on muni?
Photo by arlen

We found this genius drinking game over at A Streetcar Named Taraval:

Take a shot:
• You get short turned (two if it’s before sunset ave or 10+ blocks from home)
•An exotic animal is on the ride
•Your L somehow turns into an M between Church and Castro

Sip your beer when:
•Fare evaders hop on
•Kid tagging the inside of the bus
•The vehicle has that fresh San Francisco urine/weed aroma
•Hipster dude hits you in the face with his brand new chrome bag (take another sip if he has an ironic mustache or hat. And another if he has a dumb looking tattoo)

With these rules, we’ll all be freaking wasted by the time we get to our destinations, if we remember what those were. And suddenly, all the things we bitch about with Muni won’t seem so terrible anymore. Right?

We’d add a drink for every time a yeller gets on and addresses the entire bus. And when someone’s bulbous balls — literally or figuratively — make them spread out, at-home style, into your space.

Read on at A Streetcar Called Taraval.
