Top Five Muni Moments of the Week
Photo by Dale331
In case you’re not already following @munidiaries, here’s what you missed this week on Muni.
The shuttering of LucasArts made one Muni rider wonder whether the 43-Masonic Falcon will be retired. Another rider wondered whether having phone battery life matching your Muni line was a good or bad thing. If you’re on the 108-Treasure Island, maybe!? The following astute observation was made: “There’s a direct correlation between shittiness of music and how loudly it’s played on public transit.” Joy and horror and wonder were experienced by a Muni passenger who sat down in a seat that was pre-warmed. And finally, the Muni/San Francisco mantra was unveiled: Don’t make eye contact with crazy. Indeed.
These gems were tweeted by @allysoneb, @sarahhdwyerr, @ImekaSF, @pixiethought, and @Ten_is_ha. Share your Muni experiences like they did. And follow @munidiaries to keep up with the craziness.
Hot Love on the T-Third
It’s one of those things you just know: That there are people out there with fetishes that strike you as odd. Muni rider Eric spotted evidence of someone who took their love for transit to the next level.
“Looks like the #sfmuni #TLine got some action last night”
Maybe it had been awhile for the ol’ T-Third?
Muni Graffiti Bus a Sight to Behold
Holy moly! Jason, who took this amazing photo, says, “Urban exploration on Pier 70, in Dogpatch. The iPhone was ideal for this photo – the only thing that could squeeze between the slats of the fence and get a clean shot. Initially I thought this might have been the bus that was destroyed last year during the World Series celebration, but the license plates look to be different.”
Yeah, that bus’s number ended in “238,” as this photo indicates. This one was 9118.
Best thing I’ve seen today.

Puppet show on the platform!
Update:
Did you see Nick the puppeteer’s profile on SFGate and Mission Local? Cool stuff!
Original post:
Muni rider D felt compelled to share something underground: The Flat Broke Puppet Co.’s puppet show.
Here’s what D had to say: “Ok so maybe it wasn’t really *on* the platform per se but it was a nice surprise as I exited the Powell St. Station.”
No matter. Puppets, wolfie smooches, what more can you ask for in a commute?
