Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Nate sent us video of passengers exiting an N-Judah streetcar out in the Sunset. Shortly after they deboarded, the overhead wire had its say, as seen around 0:48 above.
We sure hope everyone was okay.
Yes, yes, we know it was a vertical video. Get over it.
Man, we just don’t know what to make of this. Here’s what Andrea has to say:
And here I thought the #SFGiants winning would make happier #muni riders… And no one will sit there now

I’m tempted to leave this at a simple WTF? But, well, yeah, maybe that’s a good idea. Spotted by @FelAdelina
(Disclaimer: I never made it past Algebra 2. I did take a logic course in college [one of my faves], but never saw notation like this.)
I ask, simply, why the 38-Geary (and its passengers — note the kids in the front piloting this beast) doesn’t look like this always, forever.
Is Muni your muse? ’cause it’s proven time and again to be a good one. Send us a Muni story describing your latest adventure.

We’re guessing this ride was on the 22-Fillmore. What do you think? Had to be, right?
Definitely on our list of worst Muni stories: people popping zits on the bus. By messtiza
And, of course, the occasional old guy who touches a young lady’s leg and jerks off.
A few of favorites include:
Sat down on a seat covered in shit (hopefully it was from an animal) at the Mission and 4th stop. If you saw a guy washing his pants in the Metreon bathroom, that was me. — foofy
And:
Woman carrying a big stack of eggs/crates. Hundreds of eggs. Leaning tower of Pisa style. She’s trying to keep this shit level, but it doesn’t work. It tips and eggs go all over the place. (38 Geary) — firebelly
