49-Van Ness demolishes bus shelter
MissionMission reader Blake sent that site photos after a 49-Van Ness plowed into and destroyed the bus stop at the corner of 24th Street and Mission this afternoon. No one was hurt, according to NBC, and the driver was placed on non-driving status. No word yet on what caused the bus to jump the curb. MM commenter “Mulch” says he was on the bus, and that no one was injured. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

Melancholic Graffiti on the 29
Rider Helene Kwong found this message scrawled on a panel on the 29-Sunset. Aw. Why so melancholic? At least it’s sunny out, no?
Life happens on the bus. What did you see on Muni today?

International Public Transit Rules
Photo by Jennifer
Everyone seems to stand on the right side of the escalator even though the city’s transit authority had stopped encouraging standing on right hand side some time ago. I saw a sign encouraging riders to hold on tight to the escalator handrails: “The handrails have been sanitized regularly.” Hmm.
I thought about unspoken rules on Muni:
– Move back.
– Watch your backpack so you don’t hit people in the face.
– Step down to exit and yell “Backdoor!” for the uninitiated.
What else?
