Before I get to the juicy details of who gets $50 from Google Places and Muni Diaries, take a second to check out Lee’s picture featured in this post. Pretty.

Today’s winning Google Places review goes to Eric, whose short ode to the N-Judah gets right to the point:

The N-Judah is one of the rare SF muni lines that offer fun games to play during your ride. In the mornings you can play “Try to find a seat that doesn’t have an sleeping elderly person next to you,” The evening commute also offers “Twister but with no support to grab on to but your neighbors ponytail. And can’t forget the late night game of “Stab wounds and lost wallets.”

Touche.

Eric wins $50 for his review, and you can too, by reviewing a Muni line on the SFMTA Google Places page. Our contest ends Sunday at 11:59 p.m. so get ready to write your review!

Sleep is the New Black on Muni

Rider Bill sent us a photo he snapped on the inbound N-Judah Monday morning near Church and Duboce. “A bunch of people standing…except this guy.”

Oh, that’s how I feel most mornings, not just Monday! Turns out that your time on transit is a hot time for sleeping.To wit:

MUNI never disappoints.

‘Toucher’ on the N-Judah

Prompted by Mel’s post last week about the so-called T-Third Toucher, Kate sends the following warning:

I had the displeasure of a NJudah pervert recently between Cole Valley & Duboce Park. Doesn’t sound like it’s the “T-Third Toucher,” however, as he definitely wasn’t over 6 feet.

He got on at Cole Valley (my stop), immediately tried to squirm behind me into the corner, which was unnecessary as the train wasn’t super packed. I moved away, but he inched closer and closer, finally swinging around and again pressing up against my back, followed by a full-on body thrust. I pushed him off and he turned to presumably repeat his actions on another woman, who quickly moved.

Lucky me, he turned his attention back on me. I told him to F-off, at which point he spit on me. So disgusting. He added a barrage of sexual comments as well. Other passengers hit the emergency call button and once the driver came back he ran off.

I filed a report with both Muni and SFPD. We’ll see if anything happens.

His description: white, mid-late 30’s, appx 5’8″-5’9″; brown hair; average build. Horrid brown teeth. Was wearing neon sunglasses. Also was humming/singing loudly and acting erratic aka druggie.

Ladies (and everyone, really): Be careful out there. And report the creeps who cross the line.

But what else does F stand for?

Fun stuff in Twitterlandia @munidiaries: the alphabet according to Muni Metro.

@_mola_mola: #muni driver says: L is for late, M is for missing, T is for tardy.

@Bordash: is the N for never? i can’t come up with anything better.

@Owenchristoff: N: Non-existant. J: joke. K: Knocked-out 🙂

@simplelife9: And J and K is for Just Kidding, there really is no Muni in 5 minutes lol…

This all reminds us of that silly kerfuffle over T-shirts that mocked Muni routes.

Care to fill in the rest or add some to the list? F and S (Shuttle) are feeling left out of the party.
