Muni Moment: Pre-sneeze puppy on the 38-Geary

Have you ever tried to take a photo of a puppy? They do this thing where, you see them doing something cute, you queue your camera, and right as the shutter goes off, they stop doing the cute thing. Freakin’ dogs, am I right?

However, Muni rider Derek recently won the lottery of puppy photos. He snapped the pic above and says, “I saw the cute little face and asked the owner if I could snap a pic. She said “Sure!” and right after I did the little cutie sneezed an adorable puppy sneeze! Gesundheit little one!”

OMG!

Strangers on BART pull through for fellow passenger in need

Our hearts were warmed to receive the following story from BART rider Lee Anne:

To the gentleman in the blue shirt and the lady in the white hat at the Bayfair Station, 12/17 –

It was an already stressful evening commute with BART delays and trains abruptly going out of service. Thank you for noticing I was in trouble, keeping me from tumbling down the stairs (or worse, onto the tracks), and making sure I was okay. I did make it home safely, and I promise to check in with my doctor. I tried to catch your names (Jay?), but I wasn’t in a good enough state to remember.

Again, my thanks, and have a wonderful holiday season.

– The lady with the purple scarf who collapsed on the platform

Great stuff right there.

*deep breath*

It’s finally here. Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters tonight (official opening is Friday, but why wait?). This has to be, like, theeeeee most anticipated movie since … the last round of Star Wars movies. Those went well, right*?

What better way to celebrate the new movie in our bright little corner of the Internet than to revisit those times that Star Wars has show up on Muni? We can’t think of one, either.

Sunglass Cat shows you how to ride BART

Leave a comment

Sunglass Cat is a “special needs” cat with a medical condition that requires wearing shades at almost all times, including riding BART. In case you think that its Person also dresses up the poor cat in silly undignified costumes, this is actually necessary to keep him warm! According to Sunglass Cat’s Facebook page, he can’t regular his body temperature so in the winter, Sunglass Cat needs many cozy outfits for his outings. Get ready for an express train to Feeladelphia when you watch the video above of the kitty wearing Christmas gear and bedazzle shades on the train.

The kids, they are brazen. Good thing BART knows this. The transit agency has instituted a new permit program for passengers who intend to bring their moving toys on the train. Per BART.gov:

BART has a policy governing the use of Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices (EPAMDs) within the system.  The policy covers all battery-powered, self-balancing, two-wheeled transporters, including the Segway Personal Transporter.

You must apply for and receive a permit in order to bring an EPAMD on BART. To apply for a permit, read the policy governing EPAMDs (.pdf), download the application for a general permit (.pdf) or a permit for persons with disabilities (.pdf) and follow the application instructions.

So, now you know what to do.
