Muni Vine: Enter subway. Exit tunnel.

One comment

Have you heard of Vine? It’s the latest, greatest Internetsy thing sweeping the nation world since … a couple weeks ago.

The idea is that Vine hosts six second-long cinematic wonders that display on loop. And since Vine is a Twitter product, errybody gets to marvel at your hard work. It’s iOS-only now, so if you have an Android or mobile device that isn’t Apple, you’ll just have to wait.

What do you think? Likey? No likey?

28-19th Avenue passenger rides the bus hard

Helen describes the scene above.

This guy was listening to his boombox with headphones on the 28. And jamming out. Hard.

Boombox and headphones. Boombox and headphones … maybe his jams were so loud, like a helicopter passenger, he had to cover his ears to protect them and be able to communicate with fellow passengers …

Ah, never mind. I give up.

Helen dropped this one into our Diaries submission box. Now it’s your turn to share!

Had it with the transit poop talk? Well, we’re not quite there yet. Definitely not, if there’s a strange utterly mind-boggling story involved.

According to Gawker, a New York man was killed last month after he fell onto the tracks while trying to create a makeshift toilet between two cars of a moving subway.

The story gets ever weirder. Shortly before that, another man was found in the same station, bloodied, with “severe buttocks injuries” and a broken pelvis. Police believe he had climbed up from the tracks and although it was unclear what exactly happened to him. He was, most certainly, very drunk.

Via Gawker.

Matt got it all down:

A nicely dressed 40-something woman is riding Muni talking into her phone.

“Listen, I’m trying to move blocks around and schedule meetings.”

[…] <— that means she's listening to words I can't hear, because that's how phones work. "Just how much coffee have you had?" […] "Just what exactly are you seeing?" […] "Listen, I'm trying to win us a vacation to Greece and Taiwan. Honey, I'm going to get us on that boat. Greece… and Taiwan!” Read more

Fantasy Muni Stations

Descending down the Van Ness station escalator is like entering the eye of Sauron, am I right? It’d be even more apt if we had stations that look like these fantastical subway stations in Stockholm. Stockholm’s metro system has been called “the world’s longest art exhibition,” and each station is an amazing rendition of an artist’s imagination of an underground world. Bob H at AllCitySF.com hipped us to these surreal subway stations that will pretty much blow your mind.
