One less thing for us all to bitch about …

As you’ll see, we’re doing things a little differently this Friday. We decided to pull Muni news items out of our weekly “Weekend Photos” series. Weekend Photos will publish in a few hours, so stay tuned.
So here it is, your week in Muni news:
See any news items we missed? Let us know in the comments section.

SFMTA and the SF Examiner have more on the what and where, particularly if you plan on using transit at some point that day. Muni starts running express buses at 4:45 a.m. and express buses continue doing their thing after the race. But we do not have to remind you how of ugly the transit situation will be. Unless San Francisco surprises us for the 100th anniversary with an eleventy-billion-person, cushioned flying bus *crosses fingers*.

So, if you’re on the verge of tears after the fifth bus passes you by, or if you’re blissfully seated on a Muni chariot speeding back downtown, here are some options. Tweet your transit-themed photos and updates @munidiaries, write sloppily on our Facebook Wall, or, after your nap, visit the site and submit your harrowing, exceedingly positive, or wasn’t-so-bad transit tales. There are always Muni-themed costumes, so keep an eye out for those, make friends, and send those blurry captures our way.
Happy B2B! Hoping the transit gods smile on all of us that day.

SF Appeal alerts us to this happening at SF State today. If you can make it, this should be: BART is letting the public help to choose the next generation of seats for its commuter trains. Let’s just hope there’s not a collective call for more bacteria- and virus-infected cloth seats, okay?

Today from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
SF State, in the Cesar Chavez Student Center Lobby, 1600 Holloway Ave.

SFPD is looking for tips on this one. It appears that someone stole a very expensive violin and used Muni as their getaway. The SF Examiner has more.
“Anyone with information is asked to call the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or Danker at (415) 614-3463.”
