What’s up in Chinatown, Muni? (updates)   08.28.10

Update 11:50 p.m.: KGO/ABC7 has more:

The driver says the problems started when he went to investigate a malfunctioning wheelchair platform. The bus somehow lost control, rolled about 100 feet down a hill and crashed into a second bus.


And then…

The bus rolled into a collection of street-side newspaper racks and a mailbox before it came to a complete stop on a sidewalk.

That was from California Beat, which also reported that several passengers were treated for minor injuries.

Update 3:26 p.m.: @GarySoup tweets to let us know WTF:

Bizarre Muni bus on bus accident snarled service on Stockton St. Began when 8X driver parked [the] bus to get coffee from Cafe Honolulu. 8X bus rolled backward, sideswiped SB 30 bus. Rear end of bus knocked over traffic signal controller and mailboxes. 2 hrs to untangle.

I <3 the internets.

Original post: @disflylatina sent us this photo today. To state the obv, WTF?

Sittin’ in the waiting room … ahhhh   08.27.10

Meanwhile, On Muni . . .
Photo by davitydave

We posted the above photo in last Friday’s Weekend Photos, and we let that be that. We never got a chance to ask the obvious: WTF? So, yeah, WTF? How did dude get that big-ass chair down to the platform? How did he also get that dog down there, muzzle-less? And was this part of some elaborate prank? Or was he simply furniture-shopping? Did he take said items on Muni with him?

Also, more fun waiting-for-Muni photos:

Photo diary: Muni on Stilts   08.26.10

Saw this in the Kirkland Coach Yard. Man, if only Muni buses were equipped with Transformers-like legs to just walk over cars in traffic. Yeah, nothing would go wrong if that were the case, would it?

By now, we hope you know about the amazing photography being committed and distributed every day, many times a day, for free, over at Caliber SF. The talents behind that website are immense, and deserve your bookmarking/subscribing.

Anyone have a story involving this bus stop? Or the 5-Fulton or 21-Hayes in general? This is a good place to share it, if you do.

Unbelievably Crafty: Embroidered Muni Transfer   08.10.10

embroidered transfer

Flickr user tweetsweet dropped off a photo of the Muni transfer she embroidered last October. Because I can barely cut straight or mend a button, I am doubly impressed with her skills.

Has Muni inspired you to create something crafty? Show it off here!
