OMG. This is amazing. They must be used to the bus driver feeding them?

it's a city-wide initiative: raccoons ride free after midnight.

Uh huh and we have underground crossings for possums up here.

We gotta get out of the place.

This is not good! they can be so dangerous, especially if they have gotten used to people feeding them. Dangerous for them too, with traffic and not fearing cars. They will turn on you in a moment and their bite is really bad, bad for people's dogs too, they are fearless about attacking dogs and people.

living in Outside Lands/Sunset/OceanSide - I have definitely seen packs of these masked bandits - often in groups of 3 - 5, scurrying very close to houses - i mean, you walk out of your door without looking and you're stepping on one of them.
Tango is right - they may be cute - but they're mean as f##!

Marina chicks, texting while they're speeding thru intersections in their Range Rovers, mowing down unwitting pedestrians, are cute but dangerous too.
Neither group should be fed or encouraged.

They taste great but you have to brine them in salt overnight though.

I once spotted a gang of 8 raccoons walking the streets in Potrero Hill when I was walking home. So this doesn't surprise me at all.
malik ml williams (43 months ago | reply)
i didn't even think this was real until i read. wow.

The little gang should be allowed on. Hell, they are less likely to start a fight and would pay the two bucks, take the trash off the bus, and eat any food left over from other Muni patrons.
Besides, they're raccoons. They wash themselves! Unlike some Muni riders....

This is an awesome picture!
but there is no effing way I'd get off that bus. Raccoons are terrifying, city raccoons especially.

An amazing Capture!

an amazing capture so here's some image spam!

Holy crap that is incredible. About 15 years ago we used to leave dry food out in a dish on our back porch for our cats that roamed in and out all day. And many times we'd sit there with the back door open when it was warn and sit in the kitchen. One night a whole posse of raccoons strolled into our kitchen like it was no big deal and started eating the cat food and just chilled in the kitchen with us. It was surreal.

that movie is pretty amazing. one of the longest miazaki movies i think?
greekpunk (41 months ago | reply)
That's great!
Pruhfound [deleted] (40 months ago | reply)
no, the raccoons are used to clean the bus, they clean up all the trash and food wrappers. this makes it easier for the bus driver because he does not have to clean it at the end of his shift.
