Photo Diary: 9-San Bruno/Garbage Truck
@Smiffleblurf says, “Help! I’m on the 9 San Bruno and this lady blocked my seat with her 5ft tall wall of smelly trash. Phew!”
There really is no getting used to the smells aboard a Muni vehicle, is there?

45-Union/Stockton Drivers, FTW

When Susan Clark got off the 45 bus Tuesday morning she experienced a sinking feeling. Clark says she rides the 45 every day, even goes to the same coffee shop at Union and Fillmore every morning.
But usually when she gets off she remembers her purse.
Susan took a chance and gambled on the kindess of strangers. Read on to see how her risk paid off.
We LURV stories of kindness and lost-objects-found. Like when Kyle’s friend left her purse on a Muni Metro train and got it back. Or when Kim accidentally left her phone on a bus and got it back. Or when Jeremy dropped his work ID on the 33-Stanyan, and the driver returned it to Jeremy’s office.
Whether your Muni story is about rad drivers or, well, whatever it might be, Muni Diaries wants to hear it.
Muni Love/Hate in Collage Form
Raymond the Muni Poet Laureate is back with another homage to Muni. He says, “My love/hate with Muni is subjective, but it’s a fact that it’s a part of my life.”
Poetry, collage, photography, Raymond loves him (and hates him) some Muni, as it should be.
Share your Muni love, hate, or bemusement with us.
Free Muni for Kids?

Supervisor David Campos is one of the proposal’s biggest supporters. Though details are still being hammered out, Campos envisions no restrictions for time of day: that is, youth riders could ride free anytime. Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, on the other hand, says the idea will cost Muni way too much, especially in light of current and projected multimillion-dollar operating deficits.
