Who Left This “Answer on a Stick” on Muni?

preg-test

This “found” item could have been the beginning of an interesting short story, although I wouldn’t have wanted to handle this “answer on a stick” to find out which way the story goes. Muni rider Morgan sent us this photo and said:

I was riding the Muni #48 this morning when my sweetie pointed out this used, discarded pregnancy test stick on the sill of the window. Got us thinking: Why did they put it there? Afraid of discarding it at home? Why not in one of the trash cans near their bus stop? And most importantly: ARE THEY PREGNANT?!

Also, gross.

The little window looks like it has one line, which, according to the Walgreens website, means “not pregnant.” But without the box, we can’t be sure. So. Many. Questions!

Other strange things found on the bus.

SFMTA Customer Survey Wants Your Two Cents

sfmta survey

The SFMTA wants to know what you think about Muni. Right, um, do they really want to know?

Apparently, yes.

There are a couple of questions about how much you use Muni versus taxi or bike, but the most important page is probably rating Muni on the following:

  • Safe operation of Muni vehicles
  • Feeling safe and secure from crime while on a Muni vehicle
  • Service frequency
  • Cleanliness of vehicles
  • Service reliability
  • Feeling safe and secure from crime while waiting at a Muni stop or station
  • Cleanliness of Muni facilities (stations, elevators, escalators)
  • Overall satisfaction with Muni service

If our submissions box is any indication, we have a few guesses about what you might say!

Just another day on the N-Judah

Long Muni commutes sure do have their ups and downs, as Alexandra explains.

“Sat next to an old man who farted the entire ride, sat diagonal from a middle aged lady who was carrying the same vintage purse as me and gave her a thumbs up and smiled, remembered suddenly that I had a nightmare about my psycho ex boyfriend in which I gave him a hug to keep him from killing me. Just another day on the N (inbound) train.”

There are many ways to share your Muni stories. Facebook, Twitter, email, or our submit a Muni diary page. Go on, tell it like it is!

What Google bus? Android commutes on Muni

android

Remember when people were all BOO GOOGLE BUS, go, Muni of the proletariat! Well, Google bus, shmoogle bus, says…Android?

Via @kacie69mustang:

The google android robot is riding the #muni 49. I wonder if that is the only green he owns.

Yep, Android. The beloved symbol of Google smartphonery, my Gmail theme, and my hallway (srsly, an Android Squishable is in my hallway) rides Muni like the rest of us. He/she/it even one-ups half of all Muni riders by standing in the elderly/disabled section, though I accept that it is probably impossible to sit in that outfit.

Google, you better hope it’s not checking an iPhone right now.

No, really, send Android-on-Muni sightings to @munidiaries on Twitter.
