Muni rider Chale has further proof that you never know what you’ll experience when riding around town.

On the N-Judah, a mother and daughter came up to me and said they were admiring my shoes from afar. I told them one of my secrets: second-hand stores have some of the best designer dress-up heels and these are one of my favorite pairs, and they started laughing saying they totally agree.

Suddenly, a Goodwill truck passed by us and the mom yelled for it to stop so we could rob it. The daughter, who is in her 20s, was wearing a great pair of huge dark sunglasses, which I told her that I loved, and she lifted them up to show me a huge purple shiner on her right eye. This is why I’m wearing these, she says, its a cheerleading accident gone wrong. We all laugh and I tell her she still looks hot and possibly hotter with the black eye because it makes her look tough.

Muni’s latest upgrade to its many bus shelters was met with widespread outrage. Rightly so, given the new shelters’ inability to, well, shelter.

Now via Muni rider Randy comes a collection of transit shelters from around the world that blow Muni shelters out of the water. File under: Why Can’t We Have Nice Things?*

Read the rest of the post at Dark Roast Blend to see more neat transit shelters.

Isn’t it nice knowing what’s going on not only on your bus, but on buses all over San Francisco? We think so, too. This week’s faves:

  1. Completely topless woman on 22 Fillmore bus.
  2. Is this guy really doing lines of coke on the K/T at 8 am @sfmta_muni? #onlyinsf
  3. Putting on highly scented lotion while riding the public bus is an act of war. #talesfromthe49 #munidiaries
  4. Thx for not talking on yr phone on the bus but letting your dumb ringtone chime for 5 mins is just as annoying. #Muni
  5. “Hey Jenny.” “I’m not Jenny.” Best muni interaction so far. #SFMuni
  6. This guy across from me on #sfmuni is offering to show people his penis. Now he’s sad that no one wants to see it

The above were reported by @unfazedinsf, @WellDressedGene, @rachelshpionka, @Carlbear95, @forsoothdragons, and @Ajaxify. What’s happening on your Muni? Tell us @munidiaries.

San Francisco Bulls mascot on Muni

Did you know that SF has a pro hockey team? You do now! They’re called the Bulls, an appropriate regional mascot. Seals, pigeons, and seagulls were already taken, I’m guessing.

Anyway, as Uptown Almanac reported a few weeks back, Rawhide, the Bulls‘ mascot, is just like us. Dude rode the 22-Fillmore and handed out free hockey tickets to anyone who said, “Go, Bulls!” according to a UA commenter. Neat.

Hear that, Lou Seal?

43-Vomitorium

43-Masonic

“Muni rider Rebekka was minding her own on the 43 heading toward the Marina, lost in her book, when …

The weirdest noise interrupted my immersed state. I turned around and saw a man and two women running downright towards the front part of the bus. And what I saw then was embarrassing for basically every commuter in this bus: In the last row a guy just emptied his entire stomach. And obviously he hit a huge area of the windows, the seats and the floor. But worst of all, he hit those three people who just escaped.

“In that moment I was trying to figure out whom I should feel more sorry for: The girl who looked like as if she just freshly showered under partly digested food and drinks or the poor man who obviously must have felt incredibly sick. We all stared shocked at each other and nobody was able to talk for the rest of the ride, hoping for the next bus stop. After the first stop, the poor man was gone and stop by stop the bus got emptier. I was the last guest at the last stop and told the bus driver the whole story. She had to stop her bus ride.”

Time of day matters, here, but. Too many appletinis?
