Video diary: Catching the Z train
Video by Flickr user Mike Monteiro
We asked a few weeks ago for a show of hands: Who’s fallen asleep on Muni? It’s not like a major confession or anything. Amid the racket and ruckus that often defines our public transit system, some of us (I’d bet a lot more than would admit) doze off from time to time.
Like the fella in the video above. I really love his rocking motion. Even as adults, we’re basically infants. Sweet dreams, merry F passenger.
Ladies Waiting for Muni, Be Warned: Pickup Artist Bootcamp this Saturday
Jim Herd from San Francisco Citizen sent us this warning that “day time dating expert” Jeremy Soul is holding a one-day Pickup Artist Bootcamp this Saturday, when they will go out on the streets and find some hot ladies in the Union Square area. Specifically, the advertisement suggests that the smooth talkers find themselves a hot date on Muni.
Yeah. You read that right. More from Jim:
All right, here’s the elevator pitch for Saturday’s workshop. And, oh yes, “tram” is English English for MUNI.
“Find a HOT Date next time you’re on the Tram! Find out how.
Modern men lead such fast paced urban lifestyles they don’t have time to go out after work and meet women. Through a combination of classroom and in-field training, men can learn the latest skills and techniques to meet, attract and date beautiful women in any setting during the day – all in about 8 hours!
“Meeting women in daytime environments, aka Day Game, is scary to most men. But Jeremy Soul and his elite team of Day Game coaches have spent years learning this skill and can teach it to you.”
(Read more about this on SFCitizen, including a link to Jeremy Soul’s promo video. At your own risk, ok?)
Oh “Pickup Artists.” That is so…2005. According to SF Citizen, the classes are $1500 per person. The classes look like they are only for hetero males (yes, ladies, lucky us). When a reporter joined Jeremy Soul for one of his day time bootcamps, Mr. Soul reportedly charmed a woman on the street by commenting on her “smooth skin.” Creepy!
I wonder what Mr. Soul would say about this pickup line:
“Is your shirt expensive? Because you look so hot in it, I would totally rip it off of you right now, and I would totally replace it, if it’s not too expensive.”
True story. Someone actually used this pickup line on me and I nearly peed my pants in delight thinking about retelling it to my girlfriends. And this Saturday, ladies, you’ll have the same opportunity. If you spot any of the Pickup Artists Bootcampers, be sure to tell us about it. I can hardly wait.
Missed Connection: Work From Home Muni Girl

Photog “revger” snapped this picture on the shelter of a streetcar stop. The anonymous Muni Romeo said:
Work from home Muni Girl,
I should have asked you to join me for tea! Raincheck? (followed by phone number politely blurred by revger)
Yeah, you should have! Hope you got in touch with her, Muni Romeo.
Got another missed opportunity on Muni that you’d like to reclaim? Muni Diaries is here to help.
Who’s the Muni Love Bandit?
Last year I spotted the same sign on the 47, and just this week rider Jeff Schwartz sent in another one that he spotted on an outbound 71 bus. I just want to know: who is this romantic bandit changing the signs and making our day just a little bit brighter?
Balloon Circus on the 49
A couple of days ago I posted about weird cargo on Muni, and Muni Diaries readers don’t disappoint! Commenters reported seeing a bed (headboard included), 8′ weather stripping, a sitar, and a walnut veneer speaker.
Today we received a short video clip from rider Mathieu, who spotted a lady carrying a whole zoo of balloon animals on the 49. Wonder where she’s going…
Thanks, Mathieu!
Got photos or videos of strange cargo or other happenings on the bus? You know where to send it.
