SAN FRANCISCO -- You'd think it would be an unpleasant experience to ride a MUNI train with someone apparently smoking crack, but it doesn't appear to be bothering the riders in a recently-posted Youtube video from uptownalmanac.com.
The Youtube website said the clip was shot Tuesday and shows a passenger sprawled on the floor of a crowded N-Judah train lighting up what appears to be a crack pipe.
There are dozens of passengers around, not reacting in any overt fashion.
"I think it's just San Francisco. Nobody comments, right? I think if it was in New York you'd get a bit of a different reaction," said Brendan Hickey of San Francisco.
But Nina Jameson of San Francisco had a different reaction. "I don't know if I would get involved myself because it's kind of difficult to say what the ramifications might be," she said.
One Muni passenger said he saw someone smoking crack on a 38 Geary bus recently and admitted he didn't alert anyone.
"I don't want to get lashed out on by some crazy crackhead or anything like that," said Daesen Carr of Antioch.
Muni says if the crack smoking did indeed happened, it had no report of anyone reporting it.
"It's an unfortunate situation. A rider shouldn't have to deal with this. Sometimes it does occur on our system," said Paul Rose, Muni spokesman.
