Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
It’s supposed to be gorgeous in these parts all weekend. Seriously, get away from the computer after you fully take in the beauty of the image above.

This photo came to us via Jon Snyder – “First time I’ve seen breastfeeding on the J,” so here’s a photo Jon took with his iPhone.
I know people have strong feelings about breastfeeding – whether to do it, how long to breastfeed your child, and of course, is it ok to do it in public?
I love my outbound L train conductor so much. Here are some things he has told us:
Good morning, my American friends! We are on time today! (What? It’s 8:31!)
Help us stay on time. It is up to you. Anticipate your exit. Be patient. We all work together. America is beautiful, and trust me, I’ve lived in a lot of places. Everyone here helps each other.
It is a beautiful morning! I request this time for working because you are all so special to me. Someone out there loves you. Muni loves you. You are just beginning your day, but I am ending mine now. Have a beautiful day.
One time he told us the set-up of a joke at the start of the tunnel and told us the answer at Embarcadero. I want to write to Muni and tell them how great he is, but I keep forgetting to write down the coach number.

Share your own Muni driver story! One can only hope we have more drivers like this.
Update: SFMTA’s Twitter alias informs us, via Via @SFMuniRy, it seems someone fell trying to alight from or get on a coach. No real ‘info’ though.
Original post: shannonk from Twitter alerted us, indirectly, to this incident at Fourth and Townsend today. Now SFMuniRy is on the case. According to them, the incident involves a Muni coach and a pedestrian. Ouch.
Here are @shannonk‘s tweets:
no idea if the bus hit the guy, or he just collapsed near or in the bus and was subsequently moved.
Muni bus stopped w/firetruck in front of it, guy under it, close to front wheels. Did not see the initial event, though.
Hmmm. Folks taking cell pics of Muni crash victim @ 4th and Townsen: citizen journalism or creepy exploitation?
If you’ve got details or saw the incident, let us (and the SFPD) know.
Let’s hope not. SFGate’s Rachel Gordon has the story of a new citywide program to encourage people to eat healthy and exercise by sponsoring an art contest for kids. The tikes’ posters will adorn 800 or so buses in upcoming months.
Cute.
Thx: SF City Insider
