I'm more (often) bothered by the way some people on transit smell. When will something be done about that?

This is a weird paradox. I lived in SF for 6 years up until last June when I moved to New York. In NYC food and beverages are actually allowed in the subways, and yet, the litter that is left behind is not nearly as bad as the MUNI cars in SF.

Sunflower seeds should be banned from all of SF. Singapore did it with chewing gum, we can do it here.

Reminds me of the time I was on the 48, and there was a guy eating a mango with a hunting knife, throwing scraps of it all over the back of the bus. He also had a giant bag of garbage with him.

the joke being that there's a reason for said rules. everyone THINKS they can juggle their big mega-grande coffee on the bus, sans lid ,but it ends up becoming a sugary PSA on NBC with Markisa Hargitay: MUNI Rules On Drinks: They're There Because We Care.... oh well, I guess we're in the era of shock (schlock?) therapy..

The people eating buckets o' chicken and fries are usually taking up one seat per butt cheek. Site them for that too. They'll be dead soon from heart disease. BART police don't mess around. I've seen them write tickets...

It's not the food that bothers me as much as the Carl's Jr. bags/wrappers/grease-soaked-waxpapers that get tossed on the floor.

"It's basically ignored." This pretty much sums up SF with the exception of parking tickets.

the worst is those seats/floors covered with sunflower seeds and the self-satisfied morons who spit them all over the place. no need for a fine, just a good tasering.
