“Can I Bring My Car on BART?”

The answer is very possibly yes, if your car is as tiny as this one. Or is that actually a car?

Here’s another tiny vehicular-type thing that popped up on a transit vehicle:

Okay, I know these photos weren’t taken on BART. But I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if we did see this on Bay Area transit. After all, stranger cargo has been reported before…

Who Left This “Answer on a Stick” on Muni?

This “found” item could have been the beginning of an interesting short story, although I wouldn’t have wanted to handle this “answer on a stick” to find out which way the story goes. Muni rider Morgan sent us this photo and said:

I was riding the Muni #48 this morning when my sweetie pointed out this used, discarded pregnancy test stick on the sill of the window. Got us thinking: Why did they put it there? Afraid of discarding it at home? Why not in one of the trash cans near their bus stop? And most importantly: ARE THEY PREGNANT?!

Also, gross.

The little window looks like it has one line, which, according to the Walgreens website, means “not pregnant.” But without the box, we can’t be sure. So. Many. Questions!

Other strange things found on the bus.

Trampoline on Muni? Of course.

Rider Rhonda snapped a photo of more curious cargo on the 33-Stanyan heading inbound yesterday afternoon near Castro and 18th St.

A trampoline… really? a trampoline? Just the sort of thing you need on a Sunday outing I guess.

Add this to the strangest cargo you’ve ever seen on Muni. The other day I saw a couple carrying two huge pillows on the bus, and just yesterday a guy carrying a small bronze statue of two cupids kissing. In his backpack!

Thanks for the photo, Rhonda!

In San Francisco, there’s no such thing as, “I’ve seen it all.” Alas, the “thing” in the photo above, between the two blue arrows.

With 94 percent certainty, I say it’s a reaper (originally, I said, “scimitar,” perhaps because I just really like that word). Eugenia told me, “i squinted and have no idea what I’m looking at…jock strap?” We could easily both be wrong.

Seeing people carrying strange things on Muni is oddly reassuring, init?
