Today in combative Muni riders, the Appeal brings to our attention a fight on the 8X Bayshore Express bus captured by local reporter/ad hoc videographer Dan McMenamin of Bay City News.

A small skirmish errupted when the bolo tie wearing hippy was upset by the yuppy not volunteering a saved seat (turns out was saving it for his mom) for an elderly gentleman.
