Yet another case of taking the issue of Muni seating into our own hands.
See more seating options, inspired by other cities who think you’re a public transit royalty.
Was something in the air this morning on Muni?

To whit:
Muni driver greeted me with a smile, “good morning sir, everything good today.”. #5578 rt. 30 you are an example. – @sgharms
I think I might have boarded Muni airline 30x. Busdriver said that we might expect sunny weather on the other side of the broadway tunnel. – @bmson
This #Muni driver is entirely too cheery for his AM 30x clientele. Not complaining–it beats the usual driver surliness. – @sfkatya
After I filled out a scathing survey on MUNI, this lovely T-Line driver waited for me as I ran for the train. Karma? – @katinaminer

And keep up the good attitudes, Nice Drivers.

So, Outer Sunset Muni riders, we wanna know: What you think about this new service? It’s set to begin on June 13. Yea or nay?
Singularity Update: BART ticket machines now work with Clipper

SF Appeal this morning reports that all the ticket machines in every BART station now include Clipper functionality. I’ve been seeing those little RFID medallions on the machines for a few months now. I guess they’re all operational.
If they work better than the transponders on turnstiles and Muni vehicles, this is a good thing. Or?
When Muni’s buses can’t get you there …

Why not give a scooter a try?
Also, whose is this? It’s even got the “Thank you for riding Muni” sticker on it. How much awesome is this?
