Halloween Or Just Another Day on Muni?   10.31.11

Is this Halloween or just another night on Muni? From rider Joey:

Halloween bus ride on Saturday night on the #2 Clement headed downtown. Unfortunately, I was trapped in a seat and unable to get in the shot. That girl in the foreground in the Ewok/Eskimo costume was from Minnesota and told us she had never ridden a bus before.

How much do we love a whole weekend of taking your costumes out for a ride? Be sure to send us your best Halloween photos on Muni!

Rocking Muni for the Giants   11.02.10

You might’ve heard that a local baseball team did the biggest thing U.S. baseball teams can do last night. That’s right, the 2010 San Francisco Giants won the fucking World Series, y’all! And Muni was right in the thick of the wild celebration.

Watch the 33-Stanyan wade through the thicket of toilet paper and Giants fans in the Castro in the video above.

I got a couple of pictures of guys hopping on top of a soon-to-be-stranded 14-Mission, on Mission Street, in (you guessed it) the Mission:

Amy grabbed this short video of that same 14-Mission:

Giants fans on Muni were burning up Twitter last night too:

“Some guy stepping off the L announced GIANTS 3-0!! Driver repeated it over the PA. No reaction from riders. Me: Really? Giants!” @wallbounce

“people are sitting on 30s here on Chestnut. First Clipper now this. Anarchy!! Let’s go Giants clap x5″ @jcsnotes

“28 driver now leading @SFGiants cheer.” @dalbizo

“I’ve never experienced anything like last night in SF after the win… I just remember running through cloudy MUNI buses #SFGiants@cementone

Indeed. Indeed.

Congrats to the 2010 San Francisco Giants!

Obit-lette: 2-Clement   12.04.09

Good Things Come in Square Packages

Friends, riders, countrymen, lend me your eyes; I come to bury the 2 Clement’s stops beyond Park Presidio/14th Ave., not to praise them.

Having only been an Outer Richmond resident for 18 months or so, I never really had occasion to ride the 2. The few times I did, I found it slower and less frequent than its parallel neighbors, the 1 California and 38 Geary.

I suppose it was useful that one time I was in Laurel Heights and missed the 1, but not being a tiny Asian grandmother on my way to or from New May Wah, the extra block I’ll now possibly need to walk won’t have me wailing over any caskets or derelict bus shelters.

But won’t someone please think of the children? Well, the Washington kids now have a 38 parked outside. They’ll be fine.

And so I say farewell to the 2 Clement’s westernmost appendage. Gone, and somewhat forgotten.

Loud and Proud   07.27.08

Even though we all know well and good that NextMuni is kind of a joke (as is txtmuni, which completely ignored my cries for help this morning and refused to tell me when my 2-Clement was coming until a half-hour later), I spied this nifty item at the 38/38L stop at Geary and Divisadero Friday, for buses headed downtown. I didn’t push the button, but somebody did, because it kept rattling off arrival times every few minutes and even told us when the bus was actually arriving.

Considering that one of my top gripes about Muni is how many buses don’t play the audio signals telling people what the next stop is, this is definitely a step in the right direction.
