Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

We heard from Muni rider Tim, who warned the world, “Riding the #SFmuni with all my classmates in our Halloween costumes …” He sent over photographic evidence, seen above and below.
And of course, your chauffeurs for the evening …

Nate sent us video of passengers exiting an N-Judah streetcar out in the Sunset. Shortly after they deboarded, the overhead wire had its say, as seen around 0:48 above.
We sure hope everyone was okay.
Yes, yes, we know it was a vertical video. Get over it.
Dear Abby: My husband is not what you’d call handsome. He’s middle aged, a little on the flabby side, and he’s losing his hair. But he’s a bus driver, and Abby, I don’t think you know how crazy some women are for bus drivers. It must be the uniform, because the women fall all over Bill as if he were a Marine captain or something. Bill says that most of the women on his run are mental cases. They have tried to tip him, give him their phone numbers, and they fight for the seat right behind the driver so they can blow on his neck. One lady even pinched him.
Should I ask Bill to get into some other line of work? Or should I let him stay on that bus with all those crazy women? THE DRIVER’S WIFE
Dear Wife: Men who meet the public (in uniform and out) will be tipped, tempted, and even pinched occasionally. Give him lots of love. And trust. If a man is happy at home, he won’t look left or right.
Hmm … are women mauling your flabby, balding yet freakin’ irresistible bus driver husband? Smother him with love.
This gets me thinking, not about harassing bus drivers, but of all those odd situations that come up when riding public transit. Not sure what to say to that guy taking up two bus seats, the stranger passed out and drooling on your shoulder, or the woman over sharing on her cell phone? What would Dear Abby say about that?
Email us your bus-riding dilemmas. We have more Dear Abby gems for you, and if you send us your own bus dilemma, and we’ll respond with our best etiquette advice. Just don’t ask us which fork to use.
We’re starting to accept Life Back to Normal around here. You? And how better to ease back into that (and the always unsettling idea of a baseball offseason) than to see an utterly adorable puppy on Muni? This little lass stole Heather’s heart, and she shared it. “I fell in puppy love last night on muni. Wish I could have taken her home with me.” We sympathize, Heather. We sympathize.
