Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
I know the weather is San Francisco is always temperate, but barefoot, really? The footwear of choice on Muni can be these flashy orange babies, adorned with cream bow tie, or just anything from Jeremy Brooks’ photo documentation of awesome showgazing. No need to go au naturel!

Update (4:18 p.m. Sunday): SF Appeal reports that the suspect’s gun has been recovered.
Update (8:29 p.m.): The Examiner now reports that the suspect in the shooting near Oakdale and Third has died from wounds he received after being shot by SFPD. The Examiner reports that:
“the two officers were conducting Muni fare inspections on a T-Third Street light-rail train when they detained the suspect on the platform at Third and Oakdale. The man bolted from the platform and fired back on the two officers, Andraychak said. That is when the cops shot at the suspect, with one officer kneeling down to take aim, according to one witness.”
SF Appeal also reports the story. SFGate’s report.

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.

To whit:
Muni driver greeted me with a smile, “good morning sir, everything good today.”. #5578 rt. 30 you are an example. – @sgharms
I think I might have boarded Muni airline 30x. Busdriver said that we might expect sunny weather on the other side of the broadway tunnel. – @bmson
This #Muni driver is entirely too cheery for his AM 30x clientele. Not complaining–it beats the usual driver surliness. – @sfkatya
After I filled out a scathing survey on MUNI, this lovely T-Line driver waited for me as I ran for the train. Karma? – @katinaminer
This makes us wonder: If the operators union were to craft a totally coordinated, skillfully executed PR campaign to be friendly and efficient, would it change your opinion of the system as a whole?
And keep up the good attitudes, Nice Drivers.
