Not sure whether this is our favorite singing Muni driver, but @uppityfag has the deets:

That bus driver has made Play-Doh out of this guy.
What other strange cargo have we seen on Muni? Let’s count the ways.
We’ve seen…

Looks like he’s headed the wrong way down a one-way. Tee hee.
Via Peter.

Behold: a purple balloon monster in its natural habitat: among Uggs and vaguely interested Metro passengers.
As spotted by stuffjosefinawrites on Tumblr, this unique balloon creature joins an esteemed cadre of balloon animals on Muni, usually much more buttoned up and tethered than our wily friend here. Muni Diaries editor Eugenia says she spotted it as part of the Pride parade; like a good reveler, it responsibly took public transit home and kept its hands to itself. Kind of.
Send us your photos of interesting creatures on Muni today.

That moment when the Muni train goes dark and quiet for a few seconds. It always feels strangely calming.

Yep. Strange, but nice.
*Sorry about that title up there. Couldn’t help myself. Heh.
Just when we thought it was safe to, once again, be bored silly by bus ads, the Muni adbusters have returned. I think this is the seventh installment.
Rider Jeff sent us the pic, saying he saw this Gap spoof on a 1-California on Monday. How many of Jeff’s fellow riders just left Gap with bags of new underwear, we wonder?
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, these so-called Muni adbusters were spoofing popular ads and local businesses back in May. The effort has been lambasted by some for its 12-year-old-boy humor, but with faux brand names like Cum Tums and Fartine, I have no idea why. None at all.
