We kicked off the week with No Pants, so it might be appropriate to wrap it up with something more civilized, like this photo of a wise-looking gentleman reading a book on the bus, right?

Oh, what am I talking about — Muni is a riotous ride no matter what, and we’ve got some hairy evidence to prove it.

In Muni news this week:

  • Gov. Jerry Brown May Rescue Muni (NBC Bay Area)
  • Public Transit Funding Slightly Better in Jerry Brown’s Proposed Budget (Streetsblog SF)
  • N-Judah Transit Bulb Proposal To Go Before SFMTA Board Next Week (Streetsblog SF)
  • Muni Quietly Confirms Delay of Youth & Senior Passes to Clipper (Akit’s Complaint Dept.)
  • Phone robberies continue on Muni (SFWeekly/SFist)
  • Muni chief Nat Ford: I’m not going anywhere (SFGate)

On Muni Time Capsule this week, we bring you a 1968 photo of a “Muni experimental bus.” Turns out it’s not so mysterious after all, but still, we have some questions that maybe you or a transit buff you know can help answer.

Remember, Monday is MLK day but Muni will operate on its regular weekday schedule. Enjoy these photos and your sunny weekend!

Left Behind at the Muni Hair Show

Leave a comment

 

The other day, rider Brenden boarded a completely empty bus at the first outbound 47 stop near Pier 39 and was greeted by this lovely weave.

Well, we could hardly beweave our eyes when we saw Brenden’s picture. I watched Chris Rock’s Good Hair last year so I know these hair units can be expensive. Somebody needs to hit up Kim “Don’t Be Tardy for the Party” Zolciak for some advice. Word is that the Atlanta Housewife knows how to keep her weave on her head.

Compliments on the F

2 comments

 

It’s not always easy to give someone a compliment. Rider Matthew F. sent this hilarious conversation he overheard on the F:

This conversation took place between a chatty transient and a business woman on the F line. The transient complimented the business woman on her leopard print shoes and asked if they were ‘real cat fur’. She said thank you and opened a magazine to avoid further conversation. But this did not deter him.

He then asked if she had breakfast and pulled out a slice of baloney cold-cuts to share with her. She politely declined. A few minutes of uneasy silence and some passenger chuckles went by before the guy opened his mouth again. He complimented the woman on her nice diamond ring. Normal compliment for a second. Then he followed up, “ You stole that, right?”

Fun times.

Saw something funny on your commute today? Share it here with your fellow riders.

Swishy River on the 49

3 comments

Not every liquid on Muni is urine, but I always jump straight to that conclusion every time I see something like this on the bus. I’d argue that most of the time, it’s not urine, but I still think it is, anyway.

About the pic, though. I thought it was probably urine, especially given its proximity to the back corner of the bus. Then, I decided it wasn’t because I couldn’t smell it. Then, I smelled it and it was absolutely urine. Couldn’t be anything else.

But, the worst part, by far, was how it kept swishing back and forth (back and forth) as the bus started and stopped. It wasn’t a tidal wave or anything, but it definitely had momentum. So not only was this a urine trail, it was a moving urine trail. Boo.

I hopped off soon after my if/then/therefore thought process came to a close, but not before snapping this glorious photo. My foot’s there for scale.
