This gruesome scene was found and documented by @square006, who said:
“On Muni, just noticed this pile of discarded gummi bears next to me. They’re all headless.”
It’s a rough world out there. We’ll put up a Wanted poster once we hear back from SFPD.

Alia of On Transit had a missed connection at the MacArthur BART station, involving Proust, neuroscience, and what could have been. Help a fellow rider out. Did you read over Alia’s shoulders the other day and finish her sentences? Are you the one?

Update: Return of a Favorite Muni Driver
One of our favorite Muni drivers has returned to the wheel, rider Jonathan reports. We first met Tammy in 2010 when she threw an amazing surprise party on the 33-Stanyan.
Last year Tammy was suddenly absent from our commute, and she emailed to tell us about a tragedy that had happened to her family: the death of Tammy’s son in a car accident. The outpouring of your kind comments was amazing. (see Tammy’s story)
Jonathan wrote us with an update:

Thanks, Jonathan, for the update on Tammy, who brings a smile to so many of her passengers!
