The “weather” inside Muni often doesn’t match what’s going on outside. That was especially true for Muni rider Stephanie recently:
“It was a clear night but it was weirdly raining in my @sfmta_muni train.”
Weirdly, indeed. Here’s hoping that Stephanie and her fellow passengers survived the deluge.

I mean, right?
This American Life recently aired a crazy story called, “Diana, Hunter of Bus Drivers.” Here’s a sample:
“The first murder happened at 7:45 am, on August 28th, on bus route 4A. That morning, a woman hailed bus 718, climbed the steps, pulled a gun and shot the driver. The driver jumped out of the bus trying to escape but died on the sidewalk. The killer, witnesses said, was a middle-aged woman with dyed blonde hair — or maybe it was a wig — wearing a cap, plaid shirt and jeans. Nobody saw how she escaped. Or at least nobody would say.”
Read or listen to the rest of this story out of Juárez, Mexico on the TAL website. Then thank your Muni driver on your next ride.

Jamison has a pretty gald dang cute Muni idea. And as you know, we love cute Muni ideas.
“If I owned a cafe here in San Francisco, I’d have a little more fun with the order numbers and add the name of the matching Muni line. Order 22-Fillmore?”
Get on it, cafe and restaurant owners of San Francisco.
