Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Fogust is over, for now anyway. Go forth and celebrate.
And this weekend, do so by taking a roll on the E-Embarcadero line. You can — get this — take a vintage streetcar all the way from the Caltrain Depot at Fourth and King to — wait for it — Fisherman’s Wharf!
Go forth, indeed. Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Someone was in one hell of a rush.
Here, we (obviously) have discarded Nutter Butter. It made my section of the 49 smell like peanut butter instead of urine, and, for that, I thank the hurried Safeway shopper who left these behind.
So, what does your bus smell like? You guys are really good at describing Muni’s olfactory pleasures and offenses alike.
Sounds like the first line of a joke. Okay, maybe it is the first line of joke.
Also, purty.

I can barely draw a straight line sitting still, but @katyatch managed to draw this little monster (and this cute chick) while on Muni. Talents.

Got a diary in visual art form? We take those too.

New lanes dedicated to Muni and taxicabs will be coming to Church Street in September, according to Streetsblog SF. The colored dedicated transit lanes will be on Church Street from 16th Street to Duboce.
From Streetsblog:
Following the T-Third line, it would be the second time San Francisco has used colored paint on transit-only lanes to help clarify that they’re off-limits to drivers — one of the practices used in cities like New York and London in recent years to make transit faster and more reliable.
The SFMTA will hold a public meeting next Monday, August 27, at 6:30 p.m. at the Gazebo Room, CPMC Davies Campus, 45 Castro Street if you want to hear more about the plans.
From Aaron: “After a month of scheming and trying to come up with an innocuous excuse for Maggie to ride on Caltrain, she decided to have a “Craft Day” with her painting buddies. Little did she know we had crafted another plan…
I had assembled friends and family to help celebrate my proposal to Maggie on Caltrain. At the 22nd St San Francisco station, we all began to sing “We Are Young” by Fun as Maggie boarded the car…”
The rest, as they say, is in the YouTube video!
