Reminder: Monthly A Pass Fare Increase in July


Photo by judemorrissey

Update: As reader Rachel pointed out below, the M pass (Muni-only) will also go up by $2 and will be $64 starting July. Thanks, Rachel!

Starting in July, the monthly Muni A pass will cost you $74 instead of $72. We first learned about this last year via the Examiner, who reports that the SFMTA’s board of directors approved the fare increase program in 2010 based on inflation.

For those of you on WageWorks, you should have received an email alert and your order should be automatically adjusted for the new price.

The A pass includes BART rides within city limits. The basic fare per Muni ride is still $2.

Muni Adbusted Yet Again: Du Beers

Well lookee there. What started out as a one-off Tuesday morning on Muni Diaries seems to be in the midst of going viral locally.

Previously, we brought you “Cum Tums” and “Fartine.” The local internet happened upon another: an ad for “Du Beers”(diamonds), with the adbusted ad slogan, “Slanging blowjobs since 1927.” That’s a lot of diamonds, a lot of money, and a lot of blowjobs. Eighty-five years’ worth, in fact.

It’s becoming clear that this is a concerted effort by someone or some group. Maybe the assholes who smashed windows in the Mission a couple of weeks ago have taken up non-violent protest? In any case, carry on, y’alls!

Fun Tonight: Drinking/Songs, A Night of Beer and Music That Goes With It

Tonight, Muni Diaries Live alum Chloe Veltman is hosting a night of beer tasting and drinking songs at 50 Mason Social Club. You might remember Chloe from the last Muni Diaries Live show where she and her friends sang a transit-inspired madrigal.

Chloe is the host of public radio’s Voice Box. At tonight’s event, you can sample seven Dogfish Head beers inspired by brewing traditions around the world, and hear music associated with each ale. Also featured is a live discussion with singers Justin Montigne and Jesse Antin, and cicerone Sayre Piotrkowski (The Monk’s Kettle).

Muni Adbusters Strike Again

Yesterday, we saw them take on antacid and, well, everyone’s sex lives. This time, it’s local pretentious/delicious eateries. What’s next?

The “ad” reads: “Fartine Bakery Cafe. Wait in line five hours to buy a fucking donut.”

Bone to pick: They’re pastries, not donuts.

Update: What’s next? Looks like we have a spree of spoof ads on Muni! Readers pointed us to Du Beers and some fine Marines. Seen more? Send it our way!
