Grumpy alien takes Muni, reads paper
Or so it would seem based on Max Morse‘s photo.
To blab on Muni, or not to blab on Muni?
It’s one of those unspoken rules, right? Stand to the right on escalators, let people out of the elevator (or bus or train) before you enter, slower cars to the right, no talking during the morning commute. Or is it?
@davidbicha boasts of a “TwitterWar” he recently waged:
Mini TwitterWar today! I stand by it: there’s an unspoken no-blabbing-during-morning-commute agreement.
We combed Muni Manners for the expert take on this important question, but our search came up empty. I have my personal feelings, but I’d rather know how you feel.
So, dear Muni rider: What do you think about excessive talking during the morning commute on Muni?

Posh Seating on the 27-Bryant
By far the nicest DIY seating we’ve seen on Muni yet.
From rider Heather:
This guy knows how to travel.
We’ve got DIY Muni seating coming out of our ears over here!

Income Inequality Along Muni and BART Lines
@dangrover and @mikez got all Internet-fancy, combining Muni, BART, and Caltrain stop location info with median income numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau. The results are indicative what you’ve probably felt on your commute: San Francisco sure loves to pack its rich people in with its not-so-rich.
The designers surveyed 19 Muni lines. We crunched some numbers from the graphs and found that the 1-California and L-Taraval have some of the biggest income gaps along Muni lines. Read more
Ferret-legging, San Francisco edition
A ferret, right?
Says jyhuang via skarecreau on Tumblr:
Someone carried this #creature on the bus, it looked like a guinea pig or hamster but the body length was quite long. #Creepin #pet #rat #weirdthingsyouseeonthebus
In any case, this probable ferret is more gangsta than all y’alls for riding Muni out in the open like this. Aren’t they still illegal in California? They are definitely still adorable in California and on this transit vehicle.
A ferret is new for us, but we’ve had our share of aww-inducing animal moments on Muni. See also: Cat in a bag. Indignant pug. Skippy the service iguana.
Ferret-legging is a thing, BTW, but this isn’t it.
