Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Is this Halloween or just another night on Muni? From rider Joey:
Halloween bus ride on Saturday night on the #2 Clement headed downtown. Unfortunately, I was trapped in a seat and unable to get in the shot. That girl in the foreground in the Ewok/Eskimo costume was from Minnesota and told us she had never ridden a bus before.
How much do we love a whole weekend of taking your costumes out for a ride? Be sure to send us your best Halloween photos on Muni!

Quote of the night: “Cops are on their way, but they’re taking MUNI so they’ll be here in two hours…” @sfbreakingnews
If the cops end up riding around and waiting on Muni buses all night, they should clearly be awarded honorary 99% status. – @dolftown
Poor SFPD got on a bus in Potrero Hill bound for the Ferry Building, and ended up on Treasure Island 2 hrs later. Typical MUNI. – @mikedamm
Hey, look, the cops are taking MUNI. Relax, protesters, you’ve got all night. – @malderor
Word is cops are loaded on 5 Muni buses to come arrest #occupysf. Because it’s Muni, we know the cops will arrive late and sticky. – @natogreen
OH: “The police forgot one thing: MUNI is *never* on time!” – @sfslim
Oh, you witty Twitter folks! Tweet your gems (occupy or otherwise, but always Muni) our way, please.
Watch the video for a party on the 49 that really gets rolling at 2:04. Think the partiers are Pinched Nerve friends or lucky passengers on their way to YouTube Vimeo stardom? You tell me.

Comedian John Waters was recently at the Jewish Community Center where the host asked him about riding Muni. According to the host, “everyone hates Muni!” I think he means love-hate. Or love to hate. But John Waters actually just loves the ride.
“Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I feel like it’s just like an amusement park ride…I love it, it really makes me happy to ride Muni here.”
Watch the video and find out what he has to say about the F and the J, and hear why his love for Muni is the only controversy he’s ever caused.
