Riding Muni just to read a book
Local-ish author. Nice touch
Some people like to read books while riding Muni. Muni rider Kristin is one of them.
Sometimes I ride the bus just to read. Set up camp on the back right window seat with apples and peppermint tea. ride a line all the way down and back again… There is comfort in being alone in a crowd; wearing strangers loose around my shoulders like a handmade shawl in winter. Tuning in and out to the steady hum of engine grumbles, passenger mumbles. Looking up between pages to notice secret street art alleyways and quirky cafés. Feeling my seat mate’s arm absently meet mine as he checks the time, and I just leave it there. Enjoying this straddling two worlds, in motion, heel to toe with no place to.
Besides this website, the Muni Diaries Facebook page, and our Twitter feed, what do you like to read while riding Muni?
You may think it’s water on Muni, but it’s …
The wet weather has passed over and through for the rest of the week. Good thing, too, because now we no longer have to wonder about that puddle on a Muni seat.

Muni Transfer Tattoo Honors Family, Bernal Heights
When we saw Muni transfers realized in a tattoo artist’s sketch, we knew there had to be a story behind it. We tracked down the owner of this tattoo and its artist, and found out why he got Muni transfers permanently inked on his arm. His story made my day. How about you?

Bachelorette catches some Zs on Muni
Sure, Muni shows up in weddings, giving several big days that extra-special San Francisco touch.
But we had little in the genre of bachelorettes on Muni until rider Lynae stepped up to the plate with this. Wishing the bride-to-be cherished photos on that camera, the finest blurry memories, and a most delicious hangover breakfast.
