Here’s Your iPhone Case Upgrade

Most people throw away their transfers, but not artist Faern, who we met last year. Faern has created some cool iphone cases from the lowly Muni transfer. You can get them at the dangerously addictive site, Society6.

Here’s one of her other designs.

Last year, we helped Faern source enough transfers to make other cool mixed media art.

p.s. Did you miss those Muni transfer Converse Chuck Taylors? You can really go all out on your public transit geekery. We encourage it.

Weekend Photos: Best Dressed

Coming back from a whirlwind trip to New York Fashion Week for my day job, I couldn’t be happier to 1. sleep in my own bed, 2. see people eat carbs, and 3. find some stylish people riding transit in my own home town.

If you can’t get enough of street style, check out SF girl Mai’s street style blog, Fashionist. And as always, send us photos of noteworthy transit moments!

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Muni Writings: “These females that killed up above …”

Beth’s ride on the 9-San Bruno took an odd turn the other day after she saw someone scribbling away at the note above. It reads, for the most part:

These females that killed up above are in the space that my friend didn’t watch (something) correctly then (something) one 187 Packers (something) in one (something) confused…

Skurry. Intriguing.

What’s going on on your Muni rides?

As things unfolded on Muni one day …

Just your average ride on the bus, as chronicled by @kudeki:

“Crazy guy gets on muni, refuses to pay. Bus driver stops the bus and says we ain’t goin nowhere til you pay. Guy curses at bus driver.” – 11:58 AM

“Guy stands over bus driver, threateningly, yelling that he’s been in this town 20 yrs and driver is the dumbest dumbfuck he’s ever seen.” – 11:59 AM

“Driver waves something in guy’s face, yells “get out”. Guy stands on steps, driver opens and closes doors on him, yell at each other more.” – 12:03 PM

“Doors close on guy, he picks up a half full anchor steam from a now-empty outdoor table at bougie pac-heights cafe. Walks away cursing.” – 12:07 PM

“Entire bus starts laughing. Hipster girl in big sunglasses, red flannel shirt and matching iphone case, says ‘This is why I love Muni.'” – 12:11 PM

And the grande finale!

“Several stops later, still in wealthy neighborhood, different crazy hobo type gets on bus, chanting ‘money talks, money talks.’ He pays tho.” – 12:15 PM

We’re guessing this ride was on the 22-Fillmore. What do you think? Had to be, right?
