Stay Classy Frisco Fans:
Turns out San Francisco's insurance policy doesn't cover torching of buses - which is why Muni is on the hook for replacing that $700,000 coach that went up in a fireball during the vandalism after the Giants' World Series win.
To add insult, the city had just spent $300,000 refurbishing the bus last year. Although the bus was a loss, no one got hurt - which was due in no small part to the calm that driver Alan Yam displayed as yahoos descended on his 8X-Bayshore Express coach early last Monday, Muni said. Passengers told police they realized something was going wrong when they saw a crowd shaking cars all around them at Third and Market streets. Suddenly, they began to feel the bus itself shuddering as the mob descended on it.

1. Here's one butthead:
From the San Francisco Chronicle, 11-5: (11-05) 16:53 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A man accused of smashing a Muni bus windshield during a riot after the San Francisco Giants' World Series sweep pleaded not guilty Monday, but his attorney said he was ashamed of his actions and hoped to make amends. Gregory Graniss, 22, was charged last week with felony vandalism after a freelance photographer snapped a picture of him about to ram a police street barricade into the front window of an 8X-Bayshore express bus during the early morning of Oct. 29. Vandals destroyed the $700,000 bus minutes later by setting it on fire. Photos of the incident were widely circulated through social media. Graniss was arrested the next day at a San Francisco hotel and was released from jail after posting $40,000 bail, according to authorities.
