Upper, downer unite on Muni
I mean, these two could find each other many other places, as well. But this site isn’t called “Other Places Diaries” now, is it?

Boar ‘heads’ home on Muni
You know what they say about riding Muni: It’s never boaring …
Via Muni rider Jim: “This is not a pig. It’s a boar.” “It’s beautiful.”
‘Salad Days’ on Muni
Sure, you’re not supposed to eat or drink on Muni. But who says you can’t prepare your meals?

New Shirt Combines Muni with My Neighbor Totoro
Over at the Muni Diaries Facebook page, rider Debi shared this totally awesome shirt she saw at Woot Bear on Clement street. I stopped by the store last weekend and the shirt seems to be the biggest draw in the window! Though a plush pillow of a fallen tooth was pretty damn cute, too.
We first saw this Muni “catbus” in 2012, and now it’s a shirt you can proudly wear. This quirky take on Hayao Miyazaki’s cat bus from My Neighbor Totoro comes from artist Ben Seto. You can see more of his work at Black Sheep Comics (hint: lots of bunnies doing super hero stuff!)
Here’s the design close up:
If you’ve never seen My Neighbor Totoro, you need to watch this video of the original cat bus arriving with freakish excitement.

Here’s the Most Compact DIY Muni Shelter Ever
No bus shelter at your stop? No problem, say the good people of the Inner Richmond. Spotted at the corner of Clement and Second Avenue, someone made quick seating for those waiting for the inbound 2-Clement. The unfinished wood adds some hip ambience to this lonely Muni stop.
This unofficial Muni shelter seating joins the ranks of other seating improvements like this posh recliner, a random leather ottoman, and this wicker situation. But we gotta give major DIY handiness points to the creator of this mini Muni stop.
Bring your own chair on Muni, by the way, is a real meme around here.

Well-behaved cat in a stroller on Muni is living our dreams
Here’s the most well-mannered Muni passenger and its owner living the ultimate cat-lady dream of owning a cat stroller. Muni riders Mike and Katie sent in this photo of an amazingly calm cat riding Muni while its human looked on dotingly. I’ve seen this man before at my local Starbucks in the mornings, enjoying his coffee while the cat watches the parade of Basics ordering venti skinny soy lattes.
We have more adorable (mostly) non-human creatures seen on Muni! And here are some urban cats who are working hard at making the internet a better place: pirate cat, punk rock cat, musical cat, and leopard print car seat cat.
