100 Muni StoriesUr doing it rong if you don’t find something interesting to look at on Muni. There are even points of interest for the most magical niches:

Muni easily reaches lvl 90 when it comes to people-watching, that’s for damn sure.

*Note: I picked this photo because it says Balbo, a very “hobbity” alternative to Balboa, indeed.

Sleeping In Japanese Transit, Pt. 2

One comment


Via

If this photo of a woman sound asleep on the train in Japan weren’t ridiculous enough, commenter Kristin pointed us to the baffling scene above. (Um, sir, shouldn’t you be using your superpowers to help that man find his pants?)

Kristin herself spent “many a NYE asleep on the Yamanote line, going around and around and around,” and wrote that when it comes to transit weirdness, nothing quite tops Japan. Naked men and Power Rangers … she just might have us convinced.

John Waters: ‘You Meet All the Interesting People’ on Muni

2 comments

John Waters is occasionally (and awesomely) spotted on Muni. One time, in fact, he told us he’d love to be John Waters, Muni spokesman. That very story was one of our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories centennial favorites. Lo and behold, commenter Turner ran into him in May on the 49-Van Ness after we reposted that story. He says:

I ran into Mr. Waters on the 49 last week — he was very polite and seemed kind of tickled that he got recognized by someone who was polite enough not to hassle him. I actually expressed surprise that I ran into him on the bus and his response was (roughly — I’m afraid I didn’t take notes) ‘I LOVE the bus! You meet all the interesting people on the bus.‘ I’d love to see him as the spokesman of Muni — or as the voice of Muni.

There’s some more incentive in case you need it, Mr. Waters. We’re behind you 100-percent.
