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

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?

Unbelievably Crafty: Embroidered Muni Transfer 08.10.10
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!
