Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
This night train looks so cozy, it can take me anywhere any time. I bet it smells like cupcake inside. While Tumblr-diving, I found Nidhi Chanani (@nidhiart), a freelance artist and designer who created this charming image of the N-Judah.
She also has a cute Etsy shop where you can check out original wood burnings and prints like this lovely Cable Car print.
Did public transportation work its way into your art? We want to see.

Instead: “Oh … I’m not a student.”
“I just saw the UC Berkeley stamp. I’m sorry, I was reading over your shoulder—I know I shouldn’t do that, but it looked really interesting—”
“Believe me,” I interrupt, “I’m the last person you should apologize to for that. And it is pretty interesting, it’s —”
Now he interrupts me. “The part about how we need change to learn, that’s—”
“I know! The book is about how literature and science—
“Yes, I saw a thing once about technology that—
“Right, but this is more like—”

I don’t know where Super Muni Man is going, but if I am ever stuck in a Muni tunnel, I hope he’s in it with me.
