Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
While waiting for Muni at the West Portal Station, rider Nick Lunar Marsh and a friend made an interesting health discovery. What else are you gonna do while waiting for Muni holding a bag of bagels you just bought, right?
Found more tidbits of life facts or just weird things people do while waiting for the bus? We’re all ears.

Ok, a bonus picture: not a rider but he’s waiting for the bus!

This bus is clearly possessed. Rider Nicholas Dorgan took a photo of it and survived to tell the tale, or at least to send us the photo.
Sure, you’re not superstitious or anything, but tell me that this photo, in combination with the photo below from @velvetgoldminer, doesn’t creep you out just a little.
For reference, this is what the current sign looks like.
What do you think of these new sign designs? Here are the rest of the proposed signs. Read more
Muni turns 100 this year, and we want to celebrate it with your Muni stories in our “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories” project! You might remember the cool prize for this story drive: Submit a Muni story in the next 100 days and a portion of your story can end up on a bus ad.
For 100 days this summer, you can go our 100 Muni Stories page to see new stories in the running for getting their own advertisement inside the bus. We’ve combed through your submissions and tweets, plus some that we think deserve some props. At the end of the 100 days, we’ll be choosing quotes from the best of the best to appear on ads inside all Muni buses.
Today’s “100 Muni Stories” submission comes from David Gray, who remembers the 55-Sacramento and how its passengers had to help the bus get up steep San Francisco hills.
We’re still taking submissions for the centennial birthday celebration, so send your stories our way and remember to tag it #100MuniStories.
Muni Diaries “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories” graphic design is by Lisa Wong Jackson. Check her out at Good on Paper.
