Still aglow over the Giants’ World Series victory? Been thinking that Muni’s route names are outdated? Well then, Burrito Justice has got you covered.

I have a plan for improving Muni: Rename the routes after Giants players, and let them drive during the off-season.

Oh, yes (yes! yes! yes!), melikes. My route, the 49-Javier Lopez, suits me just fine. And my route to AT&T Park is my favorite new player and Buster Posey Lite, 12-Joe Panik.

Check out the entire list of this genius idea over at Burrito Justice.

Heading to the polls today? We should hope so! There are three transit-related measures on today’s ballot. How did you vote on these?

Prop A: San Francisco Transportation and Road Improvement Bond. ballot text
StreetsblogSF on A: “A promising step toward building out the safe, reliable networks for transit, walking, and biking that San Franciscans need.”

San Francisco Chronicle on A: “If you ride Muni — a category that includes just about everyone — then the idea of better service should interest you. This measure would spend $500 million to dent a $10 billion-plus backlog of improvements. The bond measure has money for street repaving, repair yard upgrades, and more transit and bicycle lanes.”
