An N-Judah/Prius Sandwich

5 comments

Muni rider Andrew sends this dispatch from Carl and Willard around 10 a.m.:

Looks like Muni is at it again (or in this case, may actually be the victim!). A car has become wedged between an outbound N Judah train and a parked car. Although nobody wanted to discuss what actually happened, it looks as though the grey [sic] car tried to take a right onto Carl st directly in front of an oncoming N Judah. Bummer.

Bummer indeed. And bummer that no Muni employees could explain what happened to Andrew. Anyone else have more info on this?

Photo Diary: My Parents on Muni

My Parents
Photo by Alfredo M.

Reader Alfredo M. shared this old photo of his parents on Muni:

The people in the photo are my parents, Alfredo and Maria. The photo was taken in the Mission district in 1987. I asked my parents about it some months ago and was actually surprised to hear that the photo was taken the day they found out they were going to have a baby. The baby was me, their first born. By the look on my dad’s face, I’d say they were really happy.

Santa gets started on Muni

Yes, he was spotted on BART in October. But that was merely a decoy used to get us talking. Sneaky devil.

Now it’s December, and Saint Nick is for reals. And he’s so chill about it, he’s taking Muni to creep into your non-existent fireplace and deliver presents. Or not? Spotted by no less than two (count ’em, 2!!!!) Muni riders.

If you see the jolly red dude, gawk for sure. But then share you stories and photos!
