Sleepy Muni rider?
What should you do if you think someone on Muni is in medical trouble? What if you suspect they might no longer be alive?
@ethanllewis has the obvious answer: Take their photograph and throw it up on Twitter.
Baseball begins today — will you ride Muni to AT&T Park?

Last week, SFMTA asked San Francisco Giants fans to consider riding Muni to baseball games this year. Tonight’s exhibition game against the Oakland A’s is your first chance.
Muni Diaries is officially in the bag for our hometown 2010 World Series champs, and we gladly welcome the beginning of the 2011 season. And we’re all for riding Muni when possible and realistic.
We wanna know: Will you be taking Muni to the games? Or will you be one of the many pissed-off, non-baseball fan throngs who huff and puff and curse Muni and all things baseball beginning around this time each year? Let us know!

The right good folk at Market Street Railway bring us the news that Muni will run shuttle buses during the evening this week through “at least Thursday” on the F-Market line. Bus service could start on the line as early each evening as 5 p.m.
Thanks, MSR!

Muni on Abbey Road?
Got you for a minute there, huh? This photo, uploaded by “Muni – Better Late Than Never” on Flickr, looks a lot like the Beatles album cover, down to the Volkswagen on the left side of the photo, as a commenter pointed out. But it is actually a photo of a Muni streetcar that just left the old Transbay Terminal and heading towards Market on 2nd Street.

This week on Muni Time Capsule, we bring you a photo by milantram showing the 41-Union and 12-Ocean Avenue kicking it at … 26th and Mission? Read the post to see how the 41 and 12 ended up in what would soon to be hipster-central.
