Clipper Card Earrings!
Wow, this is new-level transit love. We found this photo from @eddo_likes_you. That’s some serious public transit DIY work there.
Wonder if there’s a TransLink version of this somewhere?
Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

And it’s better than a boat.
Here’s what the Satellite High says about the song:
Finding himself on the bus, our hero begins to relax and fantasize about a perfect world, one where he is recognized as a bus superstar and doors open automatically for him wherever he steps.
The bus makes several wrong turns, though, and interrupts our narrator’s reverie as he berates the driver for his carelessness before eventually disembarking at his home.
On Twitter, @rsomething hipped us to the song, which even samples the Cantonese and Spanish versions of Muni announcement.
The album was just released but it has that nice mellow ’90s hip-hop flavor. The full album is an ode to the bus (listen on Satellite High’s Bandcamp page).

Brady posted this anecdote on yesterday’s post about N-Judah weekend service changes. She’s a quirky one, the N.
You’ll love yesterday’s N adventure. We get to Castro right before the tunnel, and the driver announces (after being stalled for 20 minutes): “My supervisor says all of you have to get off and I have to turn back to pick up more people.”
We all get off the train, it’s 8:30 am. After 5 minutes he opens the doors and says: “Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on here. My supervisor now understands it’s rush hour and we shouldn’t do that. Another supervisor overrode him. You may get back on.”
Some sense in the WTF fog, then. See also: SIKE.
@Smiffleblurf says, “Help! I’m on the 9 San Bruno and this lady blocked my seat with her 5ft tall wall of smelly trash. Phew!”
There really is no getting used to the smells aboard a Muni vehicle, is there?
Molly sent us this one from the 47-Van Ness, clearly keeping it classy as always.
No, really, take one.
Safe work with headphones.
Thanks, Sal!
