Not always an easy directive to follow. But nights like tonight, where you can share drinks and laughs with your fellow San Franciscans and Muni riders/sufferers, it gets a little easier.

See you at the Elbo Room!

A peaceful, solitary ride is like winning the lottery, especially on those cloggy Muni Metro trains. Unless there is untold ruckus on either side of him, this rider seemingly lucked out. Still, call me crazy: I prefer when my public-transit chariot is full and quiet. I like leprechauns and white whales, too.

Nice pic from @jsoncorwin. Join the cool kids and tweet your travels with Muni to @munidiaries.

Sometimes photo geekery can lead to the beginning of a pretty cool urban novel. I found this photo via Ryan S. on Flickr, who said:

This pic was the result of the auto-HDR app on my phone; the bus drove through the intersection while the app was taking bracketed-exposure shots, causing it to look like the bus is being erased.

If I were writing some hardboiled science fiction, this photo would be from 500 years into the future, where my memory of Muni is being projected onto an altered version of my self…

Got a cool Muni photo? Drop it in our Muni Photos Flickr pool and help document a very essential part of living in San Francisco.

As @archijoey says, “Sometimes visible ass sweat stops you from taking the good seat on Muni.” No matter how badly you might want to take a seat, too.

What are you seeing on Muni today? Share.
