BART rider Barb alerted us to the following: a video of a man walking shirtless through a series of moving BART cars, set to the tune of Scott McKenzie’s song, “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”
Some of the riders’ reactions are priceless.
Found this cool picture from Eric Fischer on Flickr. I thought it was neat to see Muni rendered in this kind of art. Here’s what Eric had to say about it:
It comes from a brochure that is basically information on how to ride the Muni Metro system. It has [this] drawing, plus a map and general Muni and fare information. It must have been something that they used to have a bin of in the stations, like the BART fare and schedule brochures.
I got my copy at Community Thrift, I think.
Thanks, Eric!

We found this picture on Twitter via @boyinsf, posted Oct. 17. Whoa there, Mr. Bus.
SF Appeal has some video of this bizarre situation, along with no explanation from Muni as to how it happened.
Did anyone else see this? Can anyone explain this? The truth, as always, is subjective …

Julie over at Caliber took this photo on the 49. The kids, gleefully playing a handheld game, didn’t seem to notice her taking the picture. After a few weeks of drama and violence on Muni, I was so thankful to get this picture from Julie. Sometimes — a lot of times — little charming things like this happen on the bus and around the city and make living here all worthwhile again.
Caliber, by the way, is a new, amazing photography website by Bay Area photographers Stuart Dixon, Brad Evans, Troy Holden (formerly Plug1), and Julie Michelle. Check ’em out if you haven’t already!

Update: And … no sooner do we post than we hear that service is restored, although trains are apparently bypassing Van Ness Station. Update from ActionNewsSF.
Original post: According to several Twitter sources and SFist, Muni has suspended all subway service after extensive flooding at several stations.
The agency (SFMTA) plans to have more buses on the streets to try to alleviate what’s expected to be a huge commute-ache. Good luck out there!
How are you getting around the problem?
