Video: Satellite High puts their love of Muni to music

December 8, 2015 jeff One comment

We found Satellite High this June totally by chance. It wasn’t Christmas Day, but it might’ve well have been for Muni nerds like us. “WHAT? A whole album of hip-hop songs about Muni? YES, PLS.”

We were so happy that Jay, Casey, and Vern were available to perform some tracks off said “album about Muni” at Muni Diaries Live in October. Check out the video above for tracks such as “The Bus Is Late,” “I’m on the Bus,” and crowd favorite “A Girl Who Likes Buses, Too.”

Shoe on Muni has a case of the Fridays

muni shoe mishap

File this under that embarrassing moment when you, pro daily Muni rider, are caught off guard by life. This one from Muni rider @peeeete: “Right side steps are going up, please stand clear.”

I feel a little bad for the dude who had to shimmy out of his sneaker in front of the commute crowd and then just stand there like no big deal. At least his socks are presentable on this particular day. Look on the bright side: At least you’re not this guy (or so we hope)!

Video: Kristee Ono witnesses perfection on a Muni Metro

November 30, 2015 jeff One comment

At Muni Diaries Live in October, Kristee Ono told the story of how she ended up on Muni Metro partly by chance, partly by necessity one night years ago. As bars closed and the train filled with drunk passengers, what began as your everyday judging of fellow public transit riders took a strange, beautiful turn that even Kristee could be in awe of.

Or so says our friend Ronn Vigh: “Didn’t realize Muni changed their signs to “these seats must be vacated for seniors, disabled & dogs.” Um, DUH, Ronn!

Hey Super Bowl 50 committee, Muni wires are actually beautiful

November 13, 2015 eugenia 15 comments

The Super Bowl 50 Committee plans to ask SFMTA to take down the overhead wires on Market Street during the sportsball fiesta, but honestly, we think the overhead wires are kind of nice in a photo op.

Next year’s Super Bowl will be held in Santa Clara, but the eight-day fan village will be in Justin Herman Plaza, where the mayor told KCBS that there won’t be room for the homeless or anyone. The Examiner reports that Supervisor Jane Kim confirmed the Super Bowl 50 Committee‘s desire to pull down Muni wires.

No decisions have been made about the potential request, but the Examiner says that pulling down the overhead wires could cost a “seven-figure number” requiring “lots of overtime” to remove correctly. The F, 6, 21, and 31 lines run on overhead wires in the area.

I actually think Muni overhead wires make for really beautiful photos, as evidenced by several of the photographers we’ve featured on Instagram. Maybe the Super Bowl 50 Committee can take a look at a few of these beauties?
