Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Don’t you hate the way pants cover up your personality? They’re just so … restrictive. On Sunday, these BART riders removed those hindering garments and let their freak flags fly. Above and below are some of the best images from the No Pants BART ride of 2014. Check out even more No Pants photos by Bhautik Joshi here.
For a look at the action from years past, go to 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009.
More photos after the jump.

Muni needs all the help it can get. And so can we, it seems.
Perhaps that’s why pink-and-black pipe-cleaner man is hanging onto the stop request line. I mean, it’s not like those things can just hold themselves together, amirite?
By Muni rider Kelsey via Facebook: “Guys, #muni is being taken over by pink and black pipe-cleaner mountaineers.”

My good friend Nick tipped me off to this. He texted me last week and was all, “Hey, did you know that J-Church had a song about getting hit by Muni?” And I was all, “No, no way! Rad!” Then I set about finding the song.
It’s called “As I Lie,” from the Nostalgic for Nothing LP. Click the link below to hear the dearly departed Lance and the boys lament from under the wheels of a Muni bus.
A sample of the lyrics:
“As I lie here crushed beneath the wheels of a Muni bus,
The commuters all around me crane their necks to see,
By the looks on their faces I must be a disgrace,
I can see my bike down the block”
Nice.
Support musicians, especially those who sing about Muni. Buy their music. Check out “As I Lie” on iTunes.
A subtle suggestion to those for whom “MOVE THE FUCK TO THE GODDAM TENDERLOIN!” fails to work. Via vlviaig.
On our last installment of Muni Signage Hack: Emerge like memories of a failure. So poignant.
So nice of this person to leave some kind words for the person after them. Wait, WHAT!?!?!?!?
