Such Muni. Wow.
Found on Muni by lotuschild.tumblr.com: a beautiful shiba inu!
Given the cultural importance of Doge, though, forgive me if I add some meme-y, Muni-themed pizazz:
Such art.

At the intersection of literature and Muni

The blogger at Mirth and Mercy and John Steinbeck are friends, you see. So naturally, her chance encounter on Muni held deep significance.
“While riding the MUNI [sic] today, this really neat guy with a Saint Bernard in a service vest sidled up next to me and said ‘That’s one [of] his and my’s favorite books. We’re fans.’ I looked down at the Saint Bernard and asked his name, his owner told me it was Grr.”
Aww, and what a great name for a doggie. Find out what happened next over at Mirth and Mercy.
Na na na na na na na na Batkids!
Today, San Francisco Chronicle’s Matier and Ross said it cost SF roughly $105,000 for Batkid to save our fair city. These Batkid assistants probably don’t care, though–nor should they.
Muni rider Sheila shared this on the Muni Diaries Facebook page on the most festive Friday San Francisco ever saw, noting that the kids were “on their way to assist Batkid in SF’s own Batmobile!”
Maybe thinking of Muni Metro as the Batmobile will make your commute more palatable? SFBatkid lessons live on.
Thanks for sharing, Sheila!
Lady reads Les Mis aloud on the M-Ocean View

Muni rider Tyler has an adorable little story for you. Gather round.
I was on Muni going to work at City Hall, and all of a sudden I started hearing the faint sounds of an older lady talking. It didn’t sound like English; it sounded a lot like mumbo jumbo “boo bee ba da do bee bo.” She was an older lady with gray hair that didn’t looked combed or washed, and she had a brown trenchcoat on. She was reading the book Les Miserables, out loud, in French. I guess it sounded like mumbo jumbo because of her high-pitched voice and lack of English. Everyone was staring at her as though she were a maniac. I, however, went from extremely annoyed to overjoyed and it sounded like music to my ears. Why? because the story of Les Mis is incredible and genius. I wanted to egg her on and have a legit conversation about the book, but I was 100 percent sure that she didn’t speak English, so I kept my musical theater nerd knowledge to myself.
So cool. So cool.
Muni Art: My Life Illustrated
The 36-Teresita
Muni rider Roman Scanlon joins the list of purveyors of Muni art. Here’s his spiel:
“I recently started working on a photo book of San Francisco and realized how much I like public transportation (believe it or not). Having lived here for over 7 years and never utilizing it, I decided to become more SF-ish and try it out. Here are a couple Illustrations/pop art of the underground (Forrest Hill Station) and the 36 (Teresita Bus).”
Welcome, Roman. We look forward to seeing more of your wares.

Hello, Mr. Chunky Monkey on the bus. Dogs on Muni always brings a smile to my face (yes muzzles blahblah fleas blahblah I know). I can’t help myself. Here are three adorable animal friends riding the bus around town. Not pictured: me making ridiculous baby-talk cooing noises at these poor unsuspecting pets.
Happy weekend!
