Duct tape in lieu of adequate Muni funding?
Once your post-election hangover subsides, realize that Muni still has 99 problems. Apparently, duct tape ain’t one of them.
Via @thedarkswan: “Duct tape fixes everything, right @sfmta_muni?”
Previously: There, I fixed Muni

Saw this sticker the other day on BART. I like it. Anyone know anything about it? I only found one example on Flickr.
Clipper Card Reader Tagged the Wrong Time?

A few weeks ago my wife and a friend of ours boarded Muni at about 5:45 p.m. in the Inner Sunset. When they got off at Civic Center a little after 6 p.m., they were stopped by fare inspectors who scanned their Clipper cards. It was then that they were told the system registered them having boarded at 4 p.m., and that they’d be issued a ticket for riding with an expired fare.
Their well-documented petition was denied, and to even fight it they have to pay the $103 fine.
If this has happened to you, were you able to petition the ticket? Let us know what happened.
Alert: Hot Scot on Muni

Stop the presses. There is a hot Scot on the bus. Or at least @Anzermo thinks so.
While the degrees of hotness definitely depend on personal preference, I can see why this dapper Muni passenger was bestowed the title of “Hot Scot on the bus.” Let’s break it down:
- He is checking his phone and indifferent to his own spectacular style.
- His tie matches his kilt.
- His socks look woolly and comfortable, hinting at potentially muscular calves.
My only regret is that we can’t see his shoes.
