Whether it’s an overheard or just someone you spot working life like a champ, there’s a lot to learn on your way from Point A to Point B. Don’t ever say Muni never learned you anything!

For Valentine’s Day: A Dating Site Just for N-Judah Riders

3804721762_f17e1cc1fb_z

Some people call tomorrow “Valentine’s Day,” but I really prefer Single Awareness Day, Whiskeyful, or Black Saturday. Whatever you call it, you have 24 hours to either walk slowly and determinedly into the ocean, smother someone with a pillow at Justin Herman Plaza, load up on Franzia, or find that soulmate you met on the N-Judah.

That’s where WeMetOnTheN comes in. Alex Lee built a dating site just for N-Judah riders (talk about hyperlocal!). Alex got the idea, appropriately, during a ride on the N: “It was maybe a Thursday or Friday evening, where I saw a guy sit down and introduce himself to a girl. Bold move. And that just made me think. There must be a lot of people who want to introduce themselves to someone they find interesting or attractive, but it’s just too painfully awkward. Or crowded. It is the N, after all.”

So, N-Judah riders, don’t say we never do anything nice for you! And for the singletons on the rest of the Muni lines: relax, dating season starts Sunday, when you’ll be spared from awkwardness for another 364 days!

New Danish bus ad will blow your mind

The Danes have done it again in this high-production advertisement about how awesome it is to ride the bus. Yes, the bus!

Danish bus company Midttrafik created this Cannes-worthy video ad to celebrate the everyday bus passenger. He’s way cooler than everyone realized: his New York hairstyle and outlet sneakers literally will blow your panties off! Next time you get on Muni, don’t forget that you are totally and absolutely cool, too.

This ad is a sequel to Midttraffik’s Ecstasy Bus ad, which celebrates the “fantastic life” found on the bus. We highly recommend watching it again.
