Random Small Kindness In Transit

Ashley from A Beautiful Struggle came across a randomly kind passenger recently.

Transportation in San Francisco brings out the most interesting people you will ever see. Honestly, I’ve seen some really odd things on the Muni train that I just can’t unsee. Anyway, this last Saturday my wonderful boyfriend and I were on Muni coming back from downtown SF to my apartment near SF State. I sat down near an old, man wearing a checkered sweater with a black cap and a large mustache. He looked at me with such a gaze that I will never forget and said: “Miss, you are a very beautiful lady. Please keep smiling, doing what you do and never forget that. You are very beautiful and never let anyone tell you different. This world needs someone like you.”
By far one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. I truly will not forget this.

Giants Win the Pennant With Muni’s Support!

If you were wondering what all the ruckus was last night, the San Francisco Giants overcame long odds at AT&T Park to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals and claim the 2012 National League pennant. There was much rejoicing.

Muni has been displaying the grammatically challenged “GO GIANTS !” for quite some time now, so we like to think that our transit system’s support of the hometeam had something to do with the celebration last night.

For the second time in three seasons, World Series baseball games will be played in San Francisco beginning tomorrow. Get ready, y’alls!

Look familiar?

Reader Meli (of Bikes and the City) found Muni in some unexpected places via this rad story on The Art of Punk and the Punk Aesthetic.

Here’s another familiar sighting in a Sex Pistols poster.

Thanks, Meli!
