Isolated Toddler Rapture on Muni?
Steve sent us this urgent dispatch from the 14-Mission. Behold: stuffed dog: Pochacco, to be exact. And…
…per Steve, “unattended plastic yellow candy bucket, tot clothes, and mini-Keds.”
WTF, you say? Us, too.

VF:What is your favorite journey?
Maddow: The J-Church Muni line up to the top corner of Dolores Park, at 20th and Church, in San Francisco. And then turning around, for the view.
We love it too, Rach. Read on.

Muni Molar (We Think)
Here we have a probable tooth from the Tenderloin Geographic Society, with some apt commentary:
Of all the buses in all the cities in all the world, why’d this molar have to pick mine?
Also, I know it’s raining, but the little spot of water(?) makes this extra grody.
It is a tooth, though, right?

SFTRU: All-door boarding coming to Muni this July

The long-talked-about topic of allowing back-door boarding on Muni buses will become reality as soon as this summer, according to a post on SF Transit Rider Union‘s website.
“SFTRU recognized that all-door boarding will create faster trips for riders, improve reliability, increase fare compliance, and save the agency money,” said Robert Boden, SFTRU board member. “We are pleased that Muni is listening to riders.”
The greatest benefit to Muni riders will be shortened travel times, especially given Muni’s average speed of 8 miles per hour.
We reported on all-door boarding for Muni last in August. Click here to read the rest of SFTRU’s post.
