Hey wait, what are you going?
More of the old Muni shelters going off to some far away land, to be replaced by ones that don’t shelter you from the elements.

Mr. Fly-Away Pants on Muni
Eva’s Muni ride was made a lot more eventful when a wardrobe malfunction happened on the bus. She wants to know if you saw it too.
Today (March 7, 2013) around 4:30pm: I got off of the 14-Mission on Mission and Geneva and remembered that I actually got off too soon, so I turned back and waited for people to continue exiting the back door so that I could board back on.
Then this raggedy dude, who was probably drunk or just stupid, stepped down the Muni steps. As soon as he stepped on the sidewalk, his pants dropped to his ankles and he was butt naked! No underwear! No nothing! So of course I look away and move away! People laughed and were shocked by what we just witnessed. He mumbled a sound like “oh,” but didn’t pull his pants up!
I got on the bus and looked back. I saw the naked man’s pale, wrinkled butt pissing in the Bank of America parking lot. I guess he walked with his pants down from Muni’s back door to the bank parking lot. Not caring who saw him. GROSS!
LET ME KNOW IF YOU WERE ON THIS BUS AND SAW THIS DISGUSTING MOMENT!
Well. Sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Five Muni Moments This Week
Photo by Jeremy Brooks
Please take a moment to admire this stunning picture by Jeremy Brooks. Done? Ok, here are five of the biggest moments that happened on Muni this week:
1. A Muni driver is brushing his teeth on the bus. Yay for dental hygiene?
2. A rider ran into her ex-boyfriend from Modesto with his “new boo” on the 14-Mission. I hope you were looking hot, girl.
3. Rider Kim got proposed to by an old man on Muni. “Would you marry me for my money? Think about it.” TEMPTING!
4. More things to do on the bus? Practicing your xylophone. True story.
5. Two guys in long trench coats recited a best-of version of Dr. Who episodes to kill time on the 38-Geary. I’d pay to see that.

Black Out Nights on Muni
These photos of a night on Muni were cute enough without a story, but the way rider J-World found these pictures of himself was even better.
Met this random girl on Muni when I was going home late at night from the bars. I don’t remember this at all, but it looks like we are having fun and are best friends. I just woke up and found these photos in my phone. Umm….? I LOVE MUNI!
