Video: The Ups and Downs of the 38-Geary

The 38-Geary is one of the most storied lines on Muni Diaries, and here’s a video collage of the ups and downs of this line, by “Party of the Third Part.”

In no particular order, you can see the 38-Geary in any of the following shenanigans:

  • Spewing mystery green fluid
  • Breaking down and being towed
  • Articulating all over the TL

And bonus footage of an unnamed rider balancing a cup of soda on a pizza box, one-handed. Them’s skills.

Video: A Day In The Life of a Muni Transfer

The life of a Muni transfer ain’t easy, especially if you’re bigger than everybody else. Mike Torchia and John Espey blew up a Muni transfer to take it around town, and fellow passengers acted like it’s no big deal. Which is why I love San Francisco, really.

But will station agents let these filmmakers catch a ride using their life-size transfer? One way to find out, if you’ve got 10 minutes handy for this ode to the humble transfer.

Do you like surveys? I like surveys.

SFMTA wants to know what we think about it. Apparently reading Muni Diaries and every other website about San Francisco isn’t enough for the agency. Heh.

The survey has questions about riding bikes in the city, taxis, and walking also. Basically, it covers all modes of getting around that fall under SFMTA’s purview.

Take the survey here. It took me about four minutes, FYI.
