Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Per Adam, who snapped this around Kearny and Sutter:
Rotten day to have to hook a bus up to a tow truck; I tip my hat to the tow-truck driver.
Thanks, Adam. We do, too.
So, for whom does this suck most?
Mull that over while wishing for a drier commute home. I’m personally crossing all fingers and still-damp toes.

Betsy wrote a very compelling love letter to a rider she saw on the K-Ingleside.
Dear Cutie on the K car,
I find your face and physical stature pleasing , especially in that black tshirt and white earphones and backpack. Very fashion forward. And if I weren’t riding with my mom I’d be making 10x more sex eyes at you from my seat hoping you’ll ask me out.
Love, Betsy. /hugs from afar.
Careful with those sex eyes, Betsy. You might end up in our Muni Cupid Roundup next year!

Happy Monday!

SF Streetsblog reports that area transportation planners are discussing plans to accommodate an increase in traffic on one of Muni Metro’s slowest lines, the M-Ocean View.
