Avoid Being Mistaken For a Tourist With TOC One-Fold Map

There are a couple of rookie mistakes that tourists make in San Francisco: wearing a “I Love SF” fleece with shorts, asking a Muni operator for change, or toting around a big unwieldy map. We can’t really help you with the first two, but Eric Meltzer and his team have come up with a map that folds and unfolds with one snap so you won’t look like a dork.

Like this:

Eric says the TOC map that they developed also works great as a Muni map. The map is water proof so you can use it in the rain (or if you dropped your map onto some unidentified liquid on the bus…it’s a possibility).

Spot the Parrot on Muni

Our Twitter wires are buzzing with two sightings of a gentleman rider with his pet parrot (or is it a cockatoo?). First @dleesf spotted him napping comfortably while the pet parrot enjoyed the view out the window.

Then another rider reported a sighting of this tropical duo. @DukeofMergers spotted the same rider on his bus with the parrot on his shoulders.

Any more sightings of this parrot or other creatures of note today? We can’t get enough of the Muni zoo.

Please Love, Move Back

David posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page. Psst, up top: Please Love Back is watching your every move, so be nice out there.

Please Love Back is a Muni Diaries favorite — spotted so far on the 47-Van Ness and the 71-Haight/Noriega. We hope it makes you crack a smile, too. But let’s not diminish the importance of moving back, too. Please, for the love of god and all that is holy, move back on crowded buses.

If you’re on the go, send us stuff the quickie way by posting on our Facebook Wall and tweeting @munidiaries.
