A man reportedly named Muni Bart Perzov is missing SFist reported. To read the one-paragraph story is to suffer a frisson of cognitive dissonance, at least for San Francisco Bay Area residents. It would be like a Chicagoan being named El Metra, or a New Yorker being named MTA Path.
I was reminded of the RER trains that serve suburban Paris. Even though the official names of the lines are A, B, C, D and E, the trains themselves have human-sounding nicknames that designate which branch of the line they're taking, names like ZEUS, VICK and NELY.
