Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
We found this picture on Twitter via @boyinsf, posted Oct. 17. Whoa there, Mr. Bus.

Julie over at Caliber took this photo on the 49. The kids, gleefully playing a handheld game, didn’t seem to notice her taking the picture. After a few weeks of drama and violence on Muni, I was so thankful to get this picture from Julie. Sometimes — a lot of times — little charming things like this happen on the bus and around the city and make living here all worthwhile again.
Caliber, by the way, is a new, amazing photography website by Bay Area photographers Stuart Dixon, Brad Evans, Troy Holden (formerly Plug1), and Julie Michelle. Check ’em out if you haven’t already!

The rain storm gave us a good smackdown this week. Elsewhere in transit news:
– Translink for cops and fixing cameras are parts of the plan to protect Muni riders (via SFAppeal)
– New aqua addition to the F-line (via Market Street Railway Blog)
– Sacto transit agency to try “Ride to Abide,” banning misbehaving passengers on their transit. Good idea for Muni? (via Streetsblog)
– Muni delays caused by problems with central control (via SF Examiner)
Have a great weekend and enjoy these great photos below, everybody. And if you make it to the Trolley Dance, make sure to send us a picture or a report!
