Clipper Card Earrings!
Wow, this is new-level transit love. We found this photo from @eddo_likes_you. That’s some serious public transit DIY work there.
Wonder if there’s a TransLink version of this somewhere?

Muni Rap: I’m on the Bus!
Photo by dawncusackk on Instagram
And it’s better than a boat.
Here’s what the Satellite High says about the song:
Finding himself on the bus, our hero begins to relax and fantasize about a perfect world, one where he is recognized as a bus superstar and doors open automatically for him wherever he steps.
The bus makes several wrong turns, though, and interrupts our narrator’s reverie as he berates the driver for his carelessness before eventually disembarking at his home.
On Twitter, @rsomething hipped us to the song, which even samples the Cantonese and Spanish versions of Muni announcement.
The album was just released but it has that nice mellow ’90s hip-hop flavor. The full album is an ode to the bus (listen on Satellite High’s Bandcamp page).
Trampoline on Muni? Of course.
A trampoline… really? a trampoline? Just the sort of thing you need on a Sunday outing I guess.
Add this to the strangest cargo you’ve ever seen on Muni. The other day I saw a couple carrying two huge pillows on the bus, and just yesterday a guy carrying a small bronze statue of two cupids kissing. In his backpack!
Thanks for the photo, Rhonda!
The 5-Taqueria Makes Its Way Down Fulton
Gordon sent this to @bartdiaries pilot and BART Don’t Lie throne-sitter Ed, who forward-passed it our way. Gordon said, “The packed bus was busy dodging black beans, rice and hot sauce.” That’s a step up from ass-in-face avoidance. Skills.
Thanks, Gordon and Ed!
A Muni Metro’s Alternate Art Universe
The other day, we posted some art of the 15-Third line (aka, the “15-Fisherman Warf”). Lest we forget about the Metro, reader Carina sent us this image above, explaining:
I took this picture in the Sunset the other day – the Muni logo is clearly visible!
Indeedily, I love how you can identify the Muni worm from a mile away. I’m a little worried about the red-bootied person hanging out of the window, though.
And, yes, we know Metro LRVs don’t cross Haight and Ashbury, but I’m OK with some artistic freedom.
Muni Tagging Diary: Well, That Was Thoughtful of You
Some people buy roses or a bottle of wine. Isn’t a haircut just as considerate? Perhaps even more so because it typically lasts longer?
