If you’ve ever taken a bus in San Francisco (and if you live here, you probably have) then you know that you’re supposed to get on the bus at the front door so you can pay your fare. You also know that if everyone did that during every trip, the buses would never get anywhere on time. This totally amusing video looks at “fare evaders” on the San Francisco MUNI system. Gotta love it. My favorite part is the one who ignores a ticket being given to him and gets away, proving my theory that if you act like you’re …read more
Growing up is all about taking what you learn from one part of your life and using to better understand yourself so that you stop making mistakes in other areas of your life. You learn tough lessons from your experiences and you do better the next time and that’s how you become the adult that you are. San Fran Voice thinks that there are tons of different things to do in this city that all teach you something about the world in general and yourself individually. And what you learn in this city can be applied to your love life …read more
If asked to name the main street in San Francisco, a number of people would offer the automatic reply that it’s Market Street. This isn’t entirely true but that’s only because San Francisco is a city filled with such distinct neighborhoods that there are multiple “main streets” in different sections of town.

Zipcar is a San Francisco car sharing program which allows carless SF residents to have access to cars when they need them and helps raise awareness about environmental issues in the city. This beautiful, artsy video is one person’s Zipcar trek set to super fun music.

Described in the video as “a soldier of little fortune whose real wealth is measured in spirit”, The Bike Messenger weaves in and out of San Francisco traffic. To give props where they’re due, the clip first aired on kron tv in 1992 and is apparently on YouTube courtesy of our own Exploratorium.

Today’s YouTube SF pick is a clip from Critical Mass. Although it’s now spread around the world, Critical Mass started here in San Francisco back in 1992.

Today’s San Francisco YouTube pick is only eight seconds long, but if you ever wondered how someone might entertain himself and others during a ride on the BART to get somewhere in the city, this clip gives you a peek. Weird!

San Fran Voice loves to bring you the best of the strange YouTube footage out there that relates to San Francisco. I’m not sure that I can even tell you what today’s minute-and-a-half-long pick is about, but it includes SF’s MUNI transportation, a red herring character and b&w footage. Works for me.
