Muni/BART ‘Best’ Place to Meet Singles

Some people think Muni is the best to eat fried chicken, take a nap, or give yourself a manicure. But the San Francisco Chronicle thinks it’s actually the best place to get your flirt on. The paper presented 29 great spots for Bay Area singles, and Muni makes the list!

Thousands of Craigslist Missed Connections ads on Muni and pickup artist bootcamp can’t be wrong, right?

Making the moves on someone on Muni sounds awkward to me, but we know at least a few riders who met a cutie on the bus: Eric, Wil, and this mysterious note writer. What do you think? Should we get off OkCupid and start riding Muni more?

‘Handicapped’ rider etiquette

From Muni rider and Giftly Marketing Director Nish:

My experience on the 14-Mission bus this morning: I hobble on with my crutches and it’s a super-crowded squalor of a ride. No seats for me until some punk kid goes, ‘Dawgs better get your asses up, this dude is handicapped.’ Yes, I am finally someone!

Sometimes, the unlikeliest of seat angels (on a 14-Mission, no less), will back you up when no one else will.

A reminder to be kind to your “handicapped” rider pals, dawgs.

Poetry+Public Transportation, Muni Style

Muni poetry. Nice to see a little Robert Frost adorning this stop.

tweetsweet posted this excerpt from a Robert Frost gem to our Muni Photos Flickr pool.

Here’s the poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” in its entirety:

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

The Muni-hook post-script: I’ll be awake for a long-ass time, too.

Thanks, tweetsweet!
