‘Showing your tits’ on Muni

boob_bag

I had never seen one of these bags in the wild (a.k.a. the Muni catwalk). I had only passed by them (and giggled like a little girl) at Gravel and Gold in the Mission. Now, lookee there. Boobs!

Whether it’s spirited debate over breastfeeding on the 71 or avoiding a grabby pervert on the 2-Clement, Muni is a pro-boobs kind of place. Here’s to hoping that all of our boobs (actual or printed) travel safely on the bus, and that will be the last time I write boobs in this post.

…boobs. (OK, I’ll stop.)

Muni riders are experts at handling their business between Points A and B, as evidenced in intense smartphoner-y (so much for eyes up and phone down) or even prepping dinner or breakfast.

But for the brave and the hurried, remember that haircuts (on the Metro or at a Muni stop, your choice!) and professional makeup application are also available.

What did you expect, that a new year would somehow change the very essence of what it means to ride Muni? Yer too cute.

  • Watching Botox face rub smelly lotion over the hands of her lover, is this actually happenin?! #44
  • lady version of leg spreaders: women who insist on crossing legs on a crowded bus, and KEEP KICKING MY LEG. #SFMuni
  • My child just licked the handrail on the 30. He had a good run. #MuniDiaries #Muni
  • Lose-Lose: Being the person furiously scratching your head & ears on Muni or not-at-all-subtly leaning away from said person.
  • Sitting between a guy in a skull mask and a guy rolling a joint #onlyonmuni

SF Chronicle to SFMTA: Hop on the transit etiquette bandwagon

Lookthehellout, Bay Area manspreaders!

In a recent editorial, the San Francisco Chronicle discussed our local need for transit etiquette campaigns similar to those we’ve previously reported in cities like New York, Japan, and Paris. Here’s the kicker:

“‘Oh, we’re on it,’ said Paul Rose, spokesman for San Francisco’s Muni. Muni has etiquette tips (like the one about giving up your seat for the elderly and disabled) posted throughout the system, but Rose said that this year it plans to survey riders about their concerns for an expanded campaign.”

Well then, Muni riders, let’s give Mr. Rose and the SFMTA a hand here. Sound off on your top five beefs with other Muni riders. Last time we checked on your pet peeves, the list almost literally went on and on and on …
