Your Weekend Transit Advisory: Baseball, sailboat races, farmer’s market, football

Here are some goings-on about town this weekend. What are you up to?

Giants Baseball
Friday through Sunday, the San Francisco Giants will finish their set of home games against the Pittsburgh Pirates at AT&T Park at the following times:

· 7:15 p.m., Friday
· 6:05 p.m., Saturday
· 1:05 p.m., Sunday

As a reminder to fans and other motorists, the SFMTA will close eastbound King Street between 3rd and 2nd streets beginning in the 7th inning of all Giants home games until the post-game traffic has died down. Drivers on northbound I-280 should avoid taking the King Street exit during this period and use the 6th Street exit instead. A map showing alternate post-game routes from AT&T parking lots is available on the Giants’ website.

Details about transit service to AT&T Park, including connections from Bay Area transit systems to Muni, can be found at www.sfmta.com. Regional transit information for BART, Caltrain and the ferries as well as traffic is available at www.511.org.

Imagine for a moment that San Francisco was filled, to a head, with really boring people. We’re talking Walnut Creek boring. Luckily for us, that’s not the case.

Here are five Muni passengers who keep things interesting for themselves and the rest of us.

  1. Woman singing a song about believing in your dreams while a young man next to me sleeps with his head on my shoulder.
  2. Dude gets on #Muni with Taoism book with flower in it; then starts yelling at everyone and bus driver. Oh the irony
  3. “Girl, don’t you take my picture and put it on that Tweeter.” “I’m reading the New York Times.” #sfmuni
  4. Theres seriously a 2yr girl with a gold tooth on this T-train #sfmuni #tline #sf
  5. you know its a good night when someone is playing “This old man” on the banjo #NJudah

A New Spin on “Most Interesting Man” on Muni

19-Polk

Muni rider Santani seems to think he’s flypaper for “uncomfortably personal” interactions on Muni. After his most recent experience on the 19-Polk, I’m inclined to believe him:

Mr. Hamilton, who got on the bus, asked the one other black guy if he wanted ‘a piece of this’ (his fist), and then talked me up the whole ride about his martial arts prowess, his death and resurrection 18 years ago, his occupations as a Secret Serviceman, candidate for Congress, commercial writer, and “one of the best dancers in this town.”

Also: “BTW, Mr. Hamilton has a debate with Ed Lee coming up in September or October.”

Move over, Most Interesting Man in the World! You’ve got serious competition.
