Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
A trampoline… really? a trampoline? Just the sort of thing you need on a Sunday outing I guess.
Add this to the strangest cargo you’ve ever seen on Muni. The other day I saw a couple carrying two huge pillows on the bus, and just yesterday a guy carrying a small bronze statue of two cupids kissing. In his backpack!
Thanks for the photo, Rhonda!
Gordon sent this to @bartdiaries pilot and BART Don’t Lie throne-sitter Ed, who forward-passed it our way. Gordon said, “The packed bus was busy dodging black beans, rice and hot sauce.” That’s a step up from ass-in-face avoidance. Skills.
Thanks, Gordon and Ed!

So many things to do this weekend…including the awesome Literary Death Match tonight (Leah Garchik judges!).
Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

A piece of the overhead equipment on a Muni bus flew off and smashed right into the third floor window of a Financial District building last night, reports SF Appeal and Bay City News.
Whoa. What.
A bus was traveling nearby when a “shoe,” the piece of equipment that connects the vehicle to overhead wires, got caught in a guide wire, creating a spring action that sent the equipment flying into the building, [SFMTA spokesperson Paul] Rose said.
The projectile just missed the employees, according to the SF Appeal report, but no one was hurt.
Has this happened before? Rarely, Rose says. Head over to the SF Appeal for details.

If you have more information about this robbery, the SFPD has asked that you contact SGT George Ferraez at (415) 558-5400.
Be careful out there!
The other day, we posted some art of the 15-Third line (aka, the “15-Fisherman Warf”). Lest we forget about the Metro, reader Carina sent us this image above, explaining:
I took this picture in the Sunset the other day – the Muni logo is clearly visible!
Indeedily, I love how you can identify the Muni worm from a mile away. I’m a little worried about the red-bootied person hanging out of the window, though.
And, yes, we know Metro LRVs don’t cross Haight and Ashbury, but I’m OK with some artistic freedom.
