Reader Sonia C has a question for y’all pro Muni riders: What’s your idea of a perfect San Francisco afternoon if you have a one-day Muni Passport?

Hi! I came across your awesome blog and wondered if you might post something for me or give me some ideas. I have a Muni Passport that I plan to use this Saturday. I will have about five hours to ride around San Francisco, stop for lunch, maybe walk around. I will start at the Powell Street BART station at 11 a.m. and want to return to the same spot at about 4 p.m. Can you suggest an itinerary that would show me and my friend the city, good and bad?

Somehow, under Thomas Hawk’s lens, the Stockton tunnel looks cleaner, shinier, and more mysterious. Today’s weekend photos also feature a cozy bear and a couple of well-dressed gentlemen.

A few nights ago I was walking around Chinatown and saw a Muni driver get out of the bus at a red light with a teenager who must have been a tourist. The driver looked out for traffic at the intersection so the kid could take a photo of the Transamerica building. Moments like this really make me happy to live here, and to share our site with everyone who rides the bus.

Enjoy the first batch of beautiful weekend photos of 2013!
