Authorities released the name of the 23-year-old woman struck and killed by a Muni bus on Friday afternoon. San Franciscan Emily Dunn was at the end of the crosswalk at the intersection of 18th and Hartford streets at around at 2:30 p.m. "when a bus that was making a left turn struck her." more ›

A Muni bus traveling down Howard hit a passing car -- no word yet on who's to blame -- but the accident, which has since been cleared, resulted in massive delays for folks heading from Market to SOMA. Please be advised. more ›

Via MLG: "Yesterday's commute involved a "suspicious package". Today's involved a fainting woman. Bus driver drove bus to nearest fire station and parked so that she could get medical assistance. Every day another Muni adventure..." more ›

A 17-year-old girl told police she was accosted by an older man on a crowded southbound 14 Mission bus this afternoon at 16th and Mission a little after 3:30 p.m. Acting in self-defense, the teen sprayed the man with pepper spray, which also struck two elderly passengers and the bus driver. more ›

On Saturday night, the last commuter line on AC Transit departed the (former!) Transbay Terminal at 12:15 a.m., and thus ending an era in San Francisco. The terminal, as many of you know, was gross. It was dank and lifeless. Also, it served as an unauthorized temporary housing facility for the homeless. (We'll let you decide whether or not that was a good thing in the comments.) Also-also, it wasn't tall, sleek, modern, or fit to be located anywhere near the jarringly glassy Millennium Tower. more ›

If a double-decker bus crashes into (audio) a curb, it gets stuck. (We realize it didn't actually "crash" into the curb, but we'll go to great lengths to make a Smiths reference.) more ›

A bus hit a pedestrian in the city's South of Market neighborhood this morning. Happening at around 8 a.m., BCN (via SF Appeal) reports that the bus was turning left onto Eighth Street from Howard Street when it struck a female pedestrian. "The pedestrian was alert and speaking when she was transported by ambulance to a hospital, but the extent of her injuries was not immediately clear." The driver will undergo routine booze and drug testing. Oh, and the bus was a Golden Gate Transit vehicle, not a MUNI clunker. Shocking, we know. more ›

Via T.N.: "will now always look both ways before crossing the street because you never know when a f*cking giant Genentech commuter bus will run the red light at Market and Church." more ›

Oh boy. Since this video showing two men fistfight on an Oakland AC Transit bus hit the internetwebs, a few things have happened. For starters, the female who shot the video, granted CBS 5 an interview. more ›

Sure, the fight between two ladies on a Muni happened in October. But it deserves repeated viewing. (We don't know about you, but like Mullholand Drive or a rerun of Bad Girls Club, we see something new each time we watch it.) And, at last, we are finally getting official confirmation as to just what, exactly, the non-English speakers were saying on the bus during the brawl. Ying Ma was kind enough to translate the entire thing, perfect for those of us who don't speak/understand Cantonese and Taishanese (the two Chinese dialects used in the video). more ›

SFist just received the following bit of information, one you Muni freeloaders should read. A reader, who we'll keep anonymous, tells us that there are "[u]ndercover pigs checking for fares around the city... hundreds of them today." more ›

Putting aside the fact that the ladies, if you will, involved in the infamous Muni bus fight lacked moral character, tact or basic human decency, community leaders hosted a panel discussion and media roundtable today "to reduce tensions between the city's Asian and African American communities." The discussion was sparked over the videotaped Muni fight that captured the internet's attention a few weeks ago. more ›

Last week, we brought your attention to the sale of this 1984 articulated 60-ft MAN bus, once used by Muni to carry passengers around the city back in the day. With a vehicle of such girth and length and reputation, we assumed no one would bid on the monstrosity. more ›

Today at 11:45, Gavin's holding a press conference to show off what's being called a "green bus shelter." Neato! What do you think it'll be? Will it be a wretched hexagon, or a lgit sketch, or a tiny pottery barn? Let's look back in time and see what Muni promised us a year ago. more ›

TODAY: Critical Mass, 6 p.m. Bicycle ride will begin from Justin Herman Plaza and end all up in your face. You've been warned. more ›

Speaking of Muni-related brilliance, after a 27-Bryant smashed into another vehicle at 23rd and Bryant streets, one passenger was sent to the hospital with "unknown" injuries. The accident happened just a little before 9 a.m. (Anyone see it?) Oh, and the driver of said 27-Bryant will be given a drug test and be "placed on non-driving status" as the powers that be investigate the cause of the crash. (CBS 5) more ›

Mystery solved! Probably! Thanks our perceptive readers, we have learned what was maybe on the mind of the lady we posted about yesterday, the one who was gently blocking access to an empty seat. Also, we've learned that SFist readers are violent, flatulent racists. more ›

There sure were a lot of passengers along the 21 route yesterday -- right next to the race, boy, it sure was busy. Think of how many fares they must've collected! Or would have, if they weren't sending out broken fare boxes along one of the busiest routes of the day. Whoops. Bus 5528 was a free ride for anyone lucky enough to catch it; and out guess is that lots of folks got lucky at Muni's expense. more ›

There was a press conference today at 11am with the Mayor and the head of Muni -- no major revelations, but here's the condensed Cliff's Notes version from our guy at the event: more ›

Hey, which would you rather have: a bus that comes on time, or a bus that comes late but has a nifty antenna on top? Well who cares what you want! You're getting the antenna. more ›

A few hours later after a car hit a man at the same intersection in Portola, a Muni bus stuck and killed a pedestrian on Thursday night at around 8:30 p.m. The 9X killed a woman in her 30s at San Bruno Avenue and Bacon Street. more ›

In the tussle over the mantle of San Francisco’s Most Tucked-Away Neighborhood, Visitacion Valley gets our vote...particularly if by “tucked-away,” one really means “neglected.” Geographic and economic isolation have contributed to infrastructural decline - and crime - here for quite some time, although earnest efforts are being made these days to turn the tide. The block of Leland between Peabody and Rutland is dually zoned for business and residence, so the street is one of Viz Valley’s main drags. There’s plenty of foot and auto traffic here, and the 56 Rutland bus even shuffles by on occasion. Businesses bookend the nondescript strip as post-WWII housing, other small commercial concerns, and a pair of bottlebrush trees fill in the space between. Pretty? Not quite. But, utilitarian? Sure. more ›

Did she find a horse's head in her office chair the day before? Embattled Susan Leal, who's refused to bow to pressure from Gavin Newsom to resign her position as the general manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission, was hit by a car outside City Hall as she was leaving meetings just before noon today. She was rushed to the hospital, where they found she was okay, if a little shaken. more ›

Did you know that the "North of Market Holiday Celebration" is coming up? Neither did we! And neither did the rest of the internet, because there's no mention of the (possibly-fictitious) event anywhere else online. What could it possibly be? We simply couldn't find any information or imagery related to the damn thing; and that's why we decided to run this totally-unrelated picture from a few weeks ago. more ›
