Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Take a look at what happens when the riders are not looking. So glad these photographers always have their lenses at the ready. Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

A Broadway-ready Muni driver gets creative with the announcements:
@bhautikj: The driver on the 27-Bryant is theatrically singing the names of connecting lines. Awesome!
Is it the same singing Muni driver from last year? When he’s bigtime famous, we can say we knew him when.
Heard or experienced something quintessentially Muni? A centennial-worthy tale, perhaps? Send us your story via the Muni Diaries submission form or tweet @munidiaries with hashtag #100MuniStories. Read the rest of our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories entries for inspiration.

@xxriabellaxx: A woman prevented a theft on 38L this morn. Thief called her a bitch b4 exiting. Bitch > thief. #100MuniStories
We in the Bay Area call that moted (alternately, moded).
There is still plenty of theft on Muni buses, but we’re proud to say that Muni riders have a way of helping one another out. In January, for example, Rachel thwarted an iPhone theft on this very same line.
You, too, could be featured in our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories drive. Celebrate 100 years of Muni by telling us your story today. Email works or tweet to @munidiaries, hashtag #100MuniStories.

“True facts, muni am riders are significantly hotter then (sic) pm #whendothehotonesleavework?!”
What do you think? Are there more hotties in the morning, afternoon, evening, or “late-night special”?
@MyDearAuntSally tagged her tweet #100MuniStories, entering it in our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories contest. The best Muni quips will end up in bus ads later this year. Celebrate Muni’s centennial by sending us your best Muni stories, or tagging your tweets #100MuniStories.

From my window at work on Parnassus Ave, I noticed a 6 bus showing the words “GO BULLS” (yesterday) and a 43 showing “EQUALITY!” today (for the vote on pay equality). I didn’t realize drivers had that much power. Go drivers! Better than GO GIANTS (from an As fan).
Sports allegiance aside, this is pretty cool, almost as cool as “Nowhere in Particular.”
Spotted other Muni signage of interest? Tell all!
