A woman was slashed in the face while riding the 49-Van Ness Monday night, reports MissionLocal. Three suspects, two men and a woman in their 20s, approached the 18-year-old victim on the bus and asked her a question. “The victim answered them and one of the men took out a knife and slashed her across the face. The three suspects then got off the bus near Mission and Valencia streets and fled on foot, according to police,” according to the MissionLocal report.

The victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital to treat lacerations on her face.

Distressing news on my regular line. Careful out there, everybody.

Muni Worm: No Need For “Improvement”

The city’s online project “Improve SF” announced an “SFMTA Design Challenge,” where SFMTA “invites you to co-create its identity for the future.” So what are we designing?

Join in the centennial celebration by submitting and voting on design concepts that reflect this character of the SFMTA as it enters its second century…Submit a concept in the form of logo, tagline, and color scheme. This is a unique opportunity for all creative members of the San Francisco community to participate and gain access to a broad audience. Once selected, the SFMTA will produce your winning concept.

But worry not, the beloved Muni worm is here to stay. We asked SFMTA spokesperson Murray Bond, who told us that the SFMTA Design Challenge only applies to the SFMTA brand, and not Muni. Confused yet?

For reference, you can see the SFMTA brand on their official page.

Have You Seen: Queue Stickers for Muni Buses?

11 comments

@hellajenny posted this on Twitter the other day, correctly noting, “Well, that’s new.”

I sorta like it. It makes the bus look friendly (WHATEVER, IT DOES), and maybe it’ll encourage queuing/not bum-rushing to get on the vehicle first.

Though, I would miss the guessing game where you try to stand nearest to where the doors will open, then silently (or loudly, we won’t judge) celebrate your hitting the mark.

Have you seen these around town? Do they work? We’ll leave “work” up to individual interpretation.
