Bear pays fair share fare, rides Muni
Okay, how wrong is it that I look at this photo and think, “Good old-fashioned family food, Black Bear Diner”? Scale of 1-10, with 10 being Princess Leia kissing Luke Skywalker (ew …)

Muni riders school ‘Drunk Idiots’

Muni is our urban Tipsy Taxi (holla, UCD grads), as it should be for any responsible reveler. But you’ll lose those kudos (and end up in SERIOUS kudos debt) for playing the part of Drunk Idiot on transit. Don’t be a jerk on the bus worthy of title-case Twitter shaming.

Drink safely, which includes not getting your ass kicked by annoyed, sober riders on your ride home.

It’s Aussie transit passengers’ turn to move immovable objects
No one told me this in advance, but this week is Super-Human Feats of Strength on Public Transit Week. Apparently. “Apparently.”
Down in Perth, Australia, a public transit rider slipped getting into the train. “Andy” got his leg stuck between the train and the platform. But this hungry leg-eating train was no match for Andy’s fellow passengers:
“Transit Authority staff alerted the driver to not move the train and then organized passengers on the platform to push the car, eventually freeing the passenger …”
What is Aussie for, “Fuck yeah!”?

A Muni reminder to ‘Free Shrimp Boy’
Via Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow’s Facebook page (seriously)
I mean, who doesn’t want free shrimp? Especially with some tasty cocktail sauce OH WAIT. I see what’s happening.
Someone who valiantly seeks #truthandjustice has taken to Muni to spread their message. “Free Shrimp Boy,” they say. “Really?” we answer back.
