The vandalism of Muni buses was clearly upsetting to many regular riders like you, judging from the submissions that flooded our inbox the day after the World Series game, including this disturbing video of rioters lighting the bus on fire. People were plenty upset in Twittersphere too:

Oh by the way, @PKittyTrisha asked if the driver was ok in the arson. He is, and was in fact honored for heroism.
The police are still looking for help identifying other suspects in the vandalism (photos on the SFPD news site)
