Help a visitor: How would you spend your one-day Muni Passport?

January 10, 2013 eugenia Leave a comment

Reader Sonia C has a question for y’all pro Muni riders: What’s your idea of a perfect San Francisco afternoon if you have a one-day Muni Passport?

Hi! I came across your awesome blog and wondered if you might post something for me or give me some ideas. I have a Muni Passport that I plan to use this Saturday. I will have about five hours to ride around San Francisco, stop for lunch, maybe walk around. I will start at the Powell Street BART station at 11 a.m. and want to return to the same spot at about 4 p.m. Can you suggest an itinerary that would show me and my friend the city, good and bad?

How many times have you wished you could nap under your desk at work? I’m full of admiration for this Muni driver, who took matters into his own hands and fashioned a rest stop on the sidewalk. Two keen readers saw him catching a nap before his shift in front of the Marina Safeway last weekend.

Polly Wanna … Sweater? Muni Transfer?

Who says only tourists ride the F-Market/Wharves? Because there is no way this sweater-/pants-wearing parrot isn’t local.

Thanks for sharing, photographer @bsterling. Oh, follow us @munidiaries on Instagram if you aren’t already.

Fish Torture and Piscicide on Muni

January 8, 2013 jeff One comment

You might want to finish your coffee cake. Muni rider Erica wants to tell you a story.

A guy got onto the bus with a fishing pole and a bucket of fish. Unbeknownst to us passengers, some of the fish were still alive. He proceeded to take fish from the bucket, look at them, talk to them and unfortunately, lose control of them when they wriggled from his grasp. One of them hit me in the foot when it skidded across the floor. He also pulled fish from the bucket and then dropped them back in, splashing a few of us with fish water. I moved after that. He continued to torture the poor fish and menace the passengers while the driver acted like nothing was happening.

Pardon me, you left something behind on BART

Clipping your fingernails on public transit* is a felony written directly into the U.S. Constitution. Seriously. Look it up.

We see complaints of this behavior perhaps more than any other complaints about Bay Area public transportation, and understandably so. But the other day, I was lucky enough to sit down on BART in a seat next to the clipped nails themselves. Just sitting there, telling me how civilized I am.
