Beth’s ride on the 9-San Bruno took an odd turn the other day after she saw someone scribbling away at the note above. It reads, for the most part:
Skurry. Intriguing.
What’s going on on your Muni rides?
Oh, who am I kidding with that headline. It’s hard out there for a Muni driver, though, no joke.
This here from @greendressgirl on a 36-Teresita.

Blogger Brittney Gilbert, formerly the blog producer with CBS5, wrote a first-person account of a horrifying sexual assault on Muni. From her personal blog:
The bus continued to lurch down busy Market Street. I pulled the cord to signal that I wanted off when the bus was due to stop again at 5th and Market.
I stood a few seconds before the bus came to a halt, a clear indiction that I was getting out and off the bus. When the bus stopped the man to my right swiveled his legs around rather than stand, so I took a wide step to get around him and as I did he grabbed me between my legs.
Without thinking I turned and swung my heavy purse containing a server’s book, a hardback journal and loose, sharp pens at his head, but barely connected. I think the purse grazed his face. I screamed FUCK YOU, also without thinking, and fled off the bus.
Anyone would be shaken up by something so horrifying and violating. When Brittney went to report the crime, she was almost discouraged from it. You can read the rest of her account on her personal blog.
