From Ben: “The painting is on plexiglass with the muni transfers glued under, and the Muni logo stripe and bus was done with deco paint pens.”
Very cool!
Art Left Behind on Muni Seat
Like a breadcrumb trail, a Muni passenger with perspiration issues departed the bus leaving behind this souvenir. Zachary was there to capture the scene for us: “The title of my latest composition “sweaty butt print and earring.”

Only the adult Clipper cards will have the new acquisition fee, while Youth and Senior Clipper cards will remain free.
You can read all the glorious details about the Clipper card fee in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s press statement. But essentially: don’t lose your Clipper card unless you have an extra $3 handy.

Have you ever been on a Muni limited line? They’re kinda bizarro Muni. Cleaner, faster, better.
There’s a move afoot to inaugurate a 5-Fulton Limited line, to faster, more cleanly whisk riders to the outer reaches of the Outer Richmond. And there’s a community meeting tonight that you should totally go to if you’re interested in things like cleaner, faster, better Muni lines.
Here’s some info about the proposed new route:
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is considering the creation of a 5 Fulton Limited line to ease crowding and improve transit times during peak hours.
Proposed Route and Changes:
• Peak period 5L would make local stops to 6th Ave, then limited stops to Van Ness Ave.
• Peak hour 5-short-line would begin at 6th Ave., making all local stops and providing additional needed capacity.
• East of Van Ness, both 5 and 5L would make all local stops to Downtown via McAllister and Market.
And here are the meeting deets:
Date: Tuesday August 21, 2012
Time: 5:30pm-7:00pm
Place: Richmond Police Station Community Room, 461 6th Avenue (map, take the 2, 28, 31, 33, 38, or 44)
If you can’t make the meeting or need more information, you can contact Supe. Eric Mar’s office by calling 415.554.7410 and asking for Nickolas Pagoulatos.

WTF on the 71-Haight/Noriega?
Could it be refried ectoplasm? We know you ain’t afraid of no Muni ghost, but seriously, how did this goo get up there?
