Hard Living in Tokyo?

Muni Diaries reader Jamie shared this funny photo taken during his trip to Tokyo. Too many late nights for this snoozing subway rider? Jamie has a more interesting theory: “pretty sure this lady was drunk at 6 a.m. on a Sunday.” We’re sure Jamie felt right at home, in that case.

No, No, Don’t Get Up: Cozy on BART

So, this guy. Perhaps the most This Guy of all This Guys on BART.

Snapped this one later in the 6-o’clock hour: toward the end of the evening rush. The train wasn’t sardines-crowded, but there were several people entering, exiting, and standing around.

In other words, maybe don’t sit like this on BART, in the interest of seat-having for fellow passengers.
