Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
When you’re incredibly flexible and have a yoga mat while waiting for BART, naturally this is what you do! This video at Montgomery BART station came from Harry McCracken on Vine.
Other times BART made people get on their dancing feet:
This can’t be a coincidence, can it? This floppy giant was found waiting for the bus with its pouty eyes just the other day. The above photo came to us via Harry Mok. If memory serves, other members of the species have been patiently waiting for the bus to come. Is this a thing?
First, the panda.

At least one of them finally caught the bus.

If you’re planning a grand heist involving a Muni shelter, Burrito Justice is here to help. He recently captured such a heist in action, as seen above and below, on Precita street.
Step 1: Obtain some fire trucks and firefighters to help you block off the street and oncoming traffic.
Step 2: Befriend your neighborhood tow truck operation and convince them that this is totally legit.
Step 3: Sit back and admire the glorious Muni shelter elevated in all its glory. Live tweet or Snapchat optional.
Step 4: Don’t forget the orange cones. Safety!
We know that someone out there actually has an old-school Muni shelter in their possession from our 2010 Great Muni Shelter Giveaway. I wonder if that particular Muni stop will make a Burning Man appearance any time soon …
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, yous guys. If lemons on Muni can find love, what’s stopping this beautiful, delicious avocado?

We found this illustration by Maxfield Bala on Instagram via Creative IQ studio. This will now forever be the image that comes to my mind when my morning bus is packed to the gills (get it? get it?), moving at a glacial speed, and I’m thinking, “What’s taking so long?”

Dear Super Bowl Fan,
By now you’ve probably realized that Levi’s Stadium is not in San Francisco, but your hotel most definitely is. Yeah, we know. But instead of standing in line at Super Bowl Fan Village (see our super helpful, super honest map here), we recommend that you get around town on Muni (that’s our bus) like a real local.
In short, Muni is $2.25 a ride, exact change, pay when you get on, keep the transfer (good for any direction for 90 minutes), and pull that cord to get off the bus. If you really want to look like a local, here are our best tips:
1. STEP DOWN! STEP DOWN!
2. When the recorded lady tells you to “Please Hold On,” she means it.
3. That’s not water on the seat.
4. Hold on to your cell phone and valuables.
5. Move to the back. No, really. You’ll get off the bus in time.
6. There’s no honest game of dice on the bus.
