Baby Kimmy and mom Shirley spotted on an inbound M-Ocean View.

Jackelyn is out surveying the scene on Muni ahead of Game 1. Above and below are some shots she captured.

Not crowded just yet, but the energy is off the charts!

The crowds on an inbound T-Third around 230 p.m.

AgentAkit took the next photo in 2002, the last time the Giants went to the World Series. Of course, Muni Diaries hadn’t been launched at that time. And some of you probably didn’t live in SF yet.

Akit says, “On the second night [of the ’02 series], the train going home was crowded, but someone on the train started singing ‘Bye Bye Baby’ and everyone on the train sung along.” Sadly, that Giants team ended up losing the World Series.

Check out these photos of Giants fans on Muni from last weekend, when the team won the National League pennant. If you have pictures of Giants fans on Muni before or after today’s game, send them our way!

And here’s hoping Muni runs smoothly (heh) and the Giants do a better job this time!

With the upcoming election and a contentious Muni ballot measure, there’s a lot of talk on what can be done to improve our transit riding experience. So, what’s on your Muni wish list?

The last time we asked you the same question in March last year, you told us that on-time performance, more frequent services, and a fix for backdoor boarding were on the top of your list. This time around, do you have new wishes or solutions that you think should be considered?

For me, after my recent trip to Rome, on the top of my wish list is increased frequency for buses and trains. In my version of nirvana, the funding/operation for that would come from a combination of state and federal funding. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

So, tell us, what would you wish for if a genie popped out of a bottle you found on Muni?
