If Muni buses could talk
Says lycheeblack: “I saw a bus getting filled to capacity while I was on my own bus. I think if they could talk this would have happened.”

Eating Corn for Breakfast on Muni
I’ve been arguing with people that summer 2013 has been a mild one, warm, even, by San Francisco standards. This photo reminds me of that. And now I’m hungry.
Let’s hope she does a better job of finishing her corn on the cob than this person did.

Cat on Muni avoids fashion don’t with sheer awesomeness
Leopard print is a tough look to pull off, especially when said print clashes with the print attached to your body. But this kitty is owning a would-be fashion faux-pas with convincing, bold ferocity. I mean, check out the red-carpet-ready stance.
For further consideration: Who owned their respective look better, leopard-skin kitty or punk-rock cat?
We don’t like cats on Muni that much. OK, that is a complete and utter lie.
Thanks for the pic, @airyspeaks.

Muni Wants Corporate Shuttles to Pay to Use Bus Stops

The huge corporate shuttles that drive up to your Muni stop and get in the way every morning might finally have to pay to use Muni’s bus stops. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Muni wants to share 100 of its stops with the growing swarm of private commuter shuttles, give priority to its own buses and charge a fee to the private operators.”
These corporate shuttles currently use about 250 Muni stops, according to the Chronicle story. The proposed test plan will only last for 18 months, and there hasn’t been a decision on how much the fee will be.
We’ve definitely heard increased complaints from you about these corporate shuttles. Remember when a vigilante Muni rider told the Facebook bus to get out of the way?
This proposal will be presented to the MTA Board of Directors this Friday. We’ll keep you updated.
So, do you think Muni’s new proposal is enough?
A Completely Believable Late-to-Work Note

Rider Alia received this email from a co-worker about why the coworker is late for work that day:
“I will be a bit late, there is a fire in the Lower Haight and buses were re-routed but for some reason my driver went waaaaaay off course and we are halfway to the Marina now. I’m seeing things I have never seen before. Read more
