Who’s Your Favorite Muni Driver?

Notable neighbor Craig of Craigslist made a mention of one of the more popular N-Judah Muni drivers on his blog last week, the unnamed driver who reminds us all that “Muni Loves You”. Other blogs have noticed our happy driver as well.
I was on the N yesterday on the way home from a medical supplies run to Safeway on Market Street. I’d been sidelined by one of the worst allergy attacks I’ve had since I was a kid, and graced fellow riders with my red-eyed, runny self on the way and back. I’m sure they loved that.
Anyway, on the way back from said supply run, I had another driver (or maybe it was the same one) who was lightening up the mood by not turning off his microphone right away after announcing each stop. What was really funny was his reaction to a myriad of incompetent double parkers and bad drivers who were driving around like maniacs in front of an oncoming train.
“MOVE OVER RED ROVER!” he boomed at one point, and followed it up with “Please move aside, thank you sir!” and so on. It was one of those “had to be there moments” but it was pretty funny.
This reminded me of a conversation I overhead between two women commuting home one day, also noting the different kinds of drivers on the Muni, and one suggested someone come up with trading cards of popular Muni folks.
Interesting idea, eh? What kinds of trading cards could you come up with for Muni?
