Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Via The Bold Italic, we found Ramon Abad‘s lovely little illustrations, like the one above. For more, check out Ramon’s site. Maybe SFMTA can adorn underground stations with this art, kinda like how BART did with Josh Ellingson‘s.
49 Van Ness from Jon Reyes on Vimeo.
Though I sadly couldn’t get a photo of that one, we at least have this: more French stuff on a Van Ness line.
I take 47s and 49s — pardon, les quarante-septs et les quarante-neufs — all the time and it’s always a treat when I come up on such students. It helps me think dreamily of Paris instead of the yelling guy who shows up on the 47 in the early evenings.
This rules.
Thx: @stankpalmer

The Bold Italic has a post up today about proper behavior on Muni that they say was inspired by Muni Diaries. That means that their post was inspired by you, yes you. Muni Diaries is yours, baby. We just turn the lights on and off.
And now it’s time for another open thread. Have at it. Talk about whatever you want, so long as it’s Muni-related. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Next week’s inauguration of the NX-Judah express bus
Next month’s Fast Pass and cable car fare increases
SFMTA says its cameras cut accidents
Driver training gone horribly awry (via Akit’s Complaint Department)

Some people surely object to what’s going on in this photo. Not us. Beautiful image of a sweet moment in time.
As seen on Muni, natch. Thx @stasia!
Speaking of, have you liked Muni Diaries on Facebook yet? Thought not.
Jason sends this, which he says was “found plastered all over Noe Valley around 24th street”:
J-Church “To Bed Early Scene”
I’ve been plagued with curiosity about what color tie you’ve been carrying around in your pocket. If you’re wearing the light blue or dark blue button up and how you’ve been rebelling against dress code in mutual fund corporate America.
If you’re interested, send me a message with the name of the book you were reading and who knows…. maybe you are my missing Muni boyfriend after all. If you’re able to email from your stone age blackberry: missingmuniboyfriend@gmail.com
Thanks, Jason and … the person who wrote and designed this ad. Good luck?
