Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
J.J. Barrow is a transportation reporter for MissionLoc@l and spent six hours on the 49-Van Ness. Here’s a photo essay of some of the pictures J.J. captured on the ride.

Big ideas for Muni buses from Jules:
Recruit Robin Williams do all the regular messages, in varying voices. Imagine his funny take on “Please move to the back of the bus,” it might just get people to listen, and god forbid, smile…He could consider adding these messages: “Please do not stand in front of a door unless you’re getting off at the next stop” and “Why stand when you can sit?”
Try softer lighting in a couple of buses, maybe a different glow will relax everyone more.
Got other quirky ideas to improve the ride?

Update (2:57 p.m.): SFMTA spokesman Paul Rose says that SFFD crews removed the tree and that J-Church was restored around 1:00 p.m.
Original post: Muni rider Christine sends the following alert:
Looks like a moving truck hit a tree bringing it down and into electrical wires on the outbound J line between the 22nd and 24th street stops. Police are working to cut the tree down but we were told to exit the train because it would be awhile. 12:30pm.
We’ll bring you service updates as we receive them.
Email or tweet us if you see anything happening that you think can make your fellow riders’ commute easier.
Today feels all trippy, so this photo from @MeatMaven fits right in.
