Just Kidding on the N-Judah

Brady posted this anecdote on yesterday’s post about N-Judah weekend service changes. She’s a quirky one, the N.

You’ll love yesterday’s N adventure. We get to Castro right before the tunnel, and the driver announces (after being stalled for 20 minutes): “My supervisor says all of you have to get off and I have to turn back to pick up more people.”

We all get off the train, it’s 8:30 am. After 5 minutes he opens the doors and says: “Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on here. My supervisor now understands it’s rush hour and we shouldn’t do that. Another supervisor overrode him. You may get back on.”

Some sense in the WTF fog, then. See also: SIKE.

Muni to shut down N-Judah LRV weekend service for six weeks

Heads up: Starting next Friday, Muni will suspend weekend light-rail service on the N-Judah line between Ocean Beach and Church and Duboce. Sorry, people, they said they have to, as they work on two rail-improvement projects. Bus shuttles will take the place of streetcars from 8 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays along this stretch of the N-Judah’s route.

For more information on the service interruption, see SFMTA’s website.

Smile in 3, 2, 1: Balloon Animal on Muni

3 comments

Rider Anthony sent us this picture of ol’ yellow on a “very crowded 38L.” When you’re ass-to-crotch with strangers during commute hour, it’s the little things that count.

Balloon animals on Muni is my favorite meme, short of actual pets on the bus. (And the even rarer meme of the bus arriving just when I needed it.) I spotted my first balloon animal on a snoozing Muni in October, after which rider Kristin sent us a pic of its twin (or perhaps the same one?) on a 16X. Rider Heather sent us a blue balloon dog from 2010, and, stretching even further back, we’ve got this orange one on the 5-Fulton, via telluomo on Flickr:
