Which is worse: Muni drunk or Muni hungover?

May 27, 2011 jeff 8 comments

Happy walk- (or bus-ride) of-shame morning! Or payday. Same thing.

An excellent question posed earlier today by @SejalDhruva. For me, it’s close, but hungover is slightly worse. Ecstatic drunk spinnies > stone-sober fear of hurling on the person in front of you.

Everyone has a lot to say about Muni, but not all of it makes it into our diaries. So we’re opening up an Open Thread post so y’all can chime in on whatever you want — seating preference? N-Judah Express buses? Got something to say about Muni news this week? Whatever’s on your mind from your commute, go wild in comments here.

Clipping Nails on Muni, the 2011 edition

May 26, 2011 jeff 4 comments

When we started Muni Diaries, one of the first stories was about nail-clipping on the bus. It’s become such a popular rant that we even incorporate it into Muni Diaries Live in the audience portion — Suzanne’s big toenail clipper is the signal that your time on stage is up. I guess when some people have to clip their nails, the urge to so is like needing your fix for caffeine, chocolate, or heroin.

That, or people still don’t care that this ends up online.

Today at Muni Time Capsule, we published a couple of photos of old Muni fare tokens issued by Market Street Railway, ostensibly sometime before it merged with Municipal Railway in 1944.

Check out the old tokens and other Muni ephemera over at Muni Time Capsule.
