John Waters Muses About Muni

Leave a comment

Comedian John Waters was recently at the Jewish Community Center where the host asked him about riding Muni. According to the host, “everyone hates Muni!” I think he means love-hate. Or love to hate. But John Waters actually just loves the ride.

“Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I feel like it’s just like an amusement park ride…I love it, it really makes me happy to ride Muni here.”

Watch the video and find out what he has to say about the F and the J, and hear why his love for Muni is the only controversy he’s ever caused.

Hat tip: rider Shoshannah.

How to Give Up Your Seat on Muni Gracefully

Once again we’ve received an etiquette complaint in our inbox. A reader wrote about someone who wouldn’t give up his seat to a disabled passenger and his partner:

This morning between around 9:00 a.m., this bigot (embracing the word f**got) wouldn’t move
his precious cargo for a disabled senior and his partner. The driver didn’t even tell this moron
to move his bags while he continued to belittle a disabled senior citizen.


Ok so this is not the graceful way to give up your seat on Muni. We’ve got some suggestions from our inbox on this matter.

For instance, recognize handicapped passengers, even those on crutches. And don’t take up three seats with your newspaper and manliness. Just a simple “Would you like to sit down” is nice, right? I’d say that elderly, handicapped, and pregnant women obviously qualify for the seats, but it’s still up for debate whether you should give up a seat for kids (and what size).

What’s your tip on giving up your seat?
