Well, it looks like all those packed-to-the-gills N-Judahs this baseball season have paid off. With a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night, the Giants advanced to the World Series.
Congrats to our ragtag National League champs!

This week, Muni was disrupted by a signal problem at the Embarcadero station, a fire on Hyde street, gas leak at the Castro station, and a police car crash (into a utility pole).

I unearthed some terrific photos from our Flickr pool last night, from Christina’s morning shot inside an N to FlickringAbility’s gorgeous foggy night photo of two Muni operators. Enjoy these photos, and have a great weekend!

Chicken’s day out (not that chicken)
This chicken was granted clemency, it would seem. Muni rider Kevin has the deets:
As can be seen in the photo, the man gradually fell asleep, hunched over with the chicken in his lap. When their stop arrived, the woman had some trouble waking him. Strangely, the bird didn’t seem to mind being slept upon.
See how fun it is to share your Muni stories?

24 Divisadero
33 Stanyan
35 Eureka
37 CorbettService on these routes must reroute around the area until the evacuation has been cleared.
Muni Metro customers are advised to use Church Street station instead of Castro at this time.
PG&E has been called to the scene.
Updates will follow.
The end of an era: Paper ‘A’ Fast Pass ends Nov. 1

The day is upon us.
As we first reported back in early August, SFMTA is phasing out all paper Fast Passes, beginning with the Muni/BART-in-SF “A” pass at the end of October. If you’re an “A” passholder and haven’t already, Akit has great information on when/where/how you can get a Clipper card with your pass loaded onto it. Good luck for a smooth transition. No, really. You might need it.
Streetsblog SF has more on next week’s transition from Fast Pass to Clipper. Be prepared, folks!
