Alternate Reality: Gorgeous N-Judah Ride

2 comments

Sure to become a classic, filmmakers Rebecca Richardson and James O’Malley imagined a different universe than the one we inhabit. Good on them for that.

Here’s what Richardson had to say about it (via SF Weekly):

We wanted to show day-to-day travel in a glamorous light, and to inspire people to actively see the beauty and magic in things they would never have considered as interesting. The Muni, and the N Judah line in particular, is something that is regularly dismissed and treated with disdain. But we think it’s interesting: for $2, you can see the whole city, from Bay to Breakers, on a schedule that’s all of its own making.

This week’s top moments on Muni feature a few well-dressed riders and a not-so-subtle battle of musical taste. I’m a hip-hop fan myself, but I’m not afraid of Achy Breaky Heart.

Top Muni moments this week:

  1. Putting Celine Dion on my phone to blast back at obnoxious boys who blast derogatory rap on the bus.
  2. Every time I’m treated to rap music on the 9, I unplug my headphones and treat everyone to “Achy breaky heart.”

PBR 12-packs need Muni, too, you know

Conundrum: cracking one open on the J-Church when it’s packed and you could really use one (though preferably something stronger) vs. cracking one open in relative, however visible peace.

I think it’s safe to say that the answer to this age-old question is: “Yes.”

From Samantha on the trusty Muni Diaries Facebook page (are you following us there? Because follow us there):

Thought you guys would find this entertaining. Dude was pre-partying before hitting up Dolores Park on the J. Legit.

We do find it entertaining, and so do you.
