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.

… you’re either “into seeing strange things,” oblivious, or just don’t give a damn.

Susan is the former, and posted the following snippet on our Facebook wall.

Guy on bus: are you into seeing strange things?
Me: sure
Him: that guy over there is rubbing motor oil all over his body.
Me: (looked over) Yes, he is. Only in SF.

I had trouble finding a photo to go with this story. I hope you understand.
