Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
I was walking along California on my way to the bank on Friday when I spotted a bunch of tourists getting off of the cable cars. Guess who was waiting for them?
Too bad I had to rush off before the bank closed. The funny thing was that nobody batted an eye. Jack was looking at his phone the whole time…videotaping people’s reaction, perhaps?
Caught site of this video in a tweet by @joshcreel yesterday. Like it or not, these fellas can sing!

It was one of those errors introduced “upstream,” as they say, evidenced by lachtaylor‘s iPhone screenshot:
“Detorus,” eh? I think that’s Latin for “detour.”
Hey, maybe Sarah Palin should hire this Muni copywriter. You betcha!
Also, in case you missed it, another Muni-SF Marathon FAIL.
Jessie sent us this justifiably confused email:
Um….wasn’t the 53 discontinued a few months ago? Way to go, Muni!
Maybe SFMTA is recycling from past years? No, the date is right. Unless this sign is from … ah, screw it.
