Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Over in our Flickr group, Muni rider redletterdayzine implores us to do the following:
Please look closely. This bottle was empty, but it had (at one time) contained Jose Cuervo.
Trying to get this photo while the train was bumping & jostling made for some hilarity; the guy sitting across the aisle from us (nice jeans, buddy!) thought we were insane…
Sometimes it’s hard to find a trash receptacle in this town, right?
As @jaeha observes, “Always a party on Muni.” And what a pretty party it is …
SF resident and cable car lover Carlos put together the homage up above.
A lot of us love San Francisco. Some of us find cool ways to express it.

Thanks for bearing with me as I emerge from a two-week-long acclimation. Eugenia was kind enough to let me put this post together, which should be the final step. Your Muni stories and photos help out tremendously in that regard. And while yesterday was one of those familiar low points for Muni (computer breakdowns causing systemwide Muni Metro delays, fatal collision between a bus and cyclist), it’s nice to know that … well, um, hey, the Giants are hot-hot-hot! 🙂
Speaking of, here’s my pro-tip for getting to the ballpark: BART to Powell, then walk. Yes, I’m advocating not taking Muni. It’s Indian Summer out there, so take advantage of it. Also, Third Street during the playoffs is unlike your everyday Third Street: It’s lined with make-shift merchants who’ve come out of the woodwork to sell you stuff and get you hyped for the game.
But this is all neither here nor there. Here is the week in Muni news:
Enjoy your weekend, and go, Giants!

Original post: A bicyclist was killed in a collision with the 44 O’Shaughnessy bus at Sixth Avenue and Clement around 5 p.m. Thursday evening. According to Streetsblog San Francisco, this is the second bicyclist fatality this year. CBS5 has the raw footage of the scene after the accident.
The bus and the bicyclist were both traveling north when the collision happened, reports CBS5. The bicycle became trapped under the bus after the accident. A witness told Streetsblog that he believes the 44 bus had been trying to pass another 44 bus when the collision happened. The identity of the bicyclist has not been released.

New to the Muni Photos Flickr group, Jaymi Heimbuch is really good with color, don’tcha think?
