Julia Jackson wants to be wrong about you
Like so many Muni riders, comedienne Julia Jackson has perfected the art of sizing up her fellow bus passengers in a glance, and she takes more than a little satisfaction in how often her assessments turn out to be right. But she worries about the distance her snap judgments can create between her and other riders, and she knows firsthand how isolating it feels to be on the receiving end. It’s the times when she’s wrong about a stranger on the bus—or they’re wrong about her—that the magic happens.
Julia had us laughing at our Wayfinding Show in 2025 as she recounted some of her favorite “terminator scan” misfires on Muni, and how they brought her closer to her fellow riders. Listen to her story here:
