Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Nah, this is the work of Jeremiah, who used a little creative license and photoshop to spice up his photo of the side of a bus.
The Muni logo was originally designed by San Francisco-based graphic designer Walter Landor in the 1970s and adorns everything from old fast passes, a transit-inspired Nike shirt, feminist head gear, to a neck tattoo.
Where else have you spotted the worm?

Remember that Muni is on a Sunday schedule this Monday. If you’re along the Pier 39 area, check out reroutes and extra service for the fireworks celebration.
Enjoy these photos and your long weekend.

Want to see some amazing photographs of our city? Head over to Schroeder’s Restaurant tonight for the opening of Streets of San Francisco, a photo show by Travis Jensen and Josh Sullivan. We know Travis from the photo collective All City, which has brought us some amazing transit photographs on Muni Diaries. And of course, public transportation stars prominently on our streets. You’ll see pictures like the photo in this post. Armed with 35mm film from a rooftop in the Financial District, Travis shot the two cable cars crossing paths on California Street.
At Streets of San Francisco, you’ll find “a diverse mix of urban landscapes, candid street scenes, and street portraiture.” I’m told that Schroeder’s is more than 100 years old and has never had an event like this.

Annie from Poetic and Chic spotted these kick-ass shoes on the 1BX today. What else did you see on the bus today? Here’s an open thread for you to say whatever’s on your mind.
Muni made you late? Someone smelled like ass? Too many ballet students cramming your morning bus? Whatever you want, have a go!
Visiting San Francisco again was great. On my first day in San Francisco two years ago I fell in love with the city and was very happy to get a chance to visit it one more time. We took long walks and used public transit (Muni/Bart/Caltrain) as we are (like most Europeans) used to public transit.
A few things that I like about Muni: it’s affordable, you can take your bike with you on Muni which is not possible to do on Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) public transit, more seats reserved for seniors and persons with disabilities, people are mostly very polite and are not pushing around the entrance to get on Muni.
One more thing that I find very amusing is pulling the string when you want to get off the bus.
Things you can do on Zagreb public transit (except trains): buy your ticket by sending SMS from your cell phone.
Wow, I’d like to buy my Muni tickets from my cell phone. Pretty cool. Wonder what transit in Zagreb looks like?
Trippy.
Thanks, Melita!
How does Muni compare to public transit in other countries? The comments section is wide open…
