OMG! Tiger sighting on Muni!
This is either the best backpack or the best tiger costume ever, on or off Muni. Oh San Francisco, how much do I love that you think every day is Halloween (even Easter, for that matter?)

New Muni map in need of ‘rotate right’
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL …
I honestly have nothing else to say about this new Muni map.
Via Muni rider @cmaldo “And the winner for “I’m too damn lazy to fix this” goes to…. #lazy #youhadonejob #seriously #muni #munidiaries”
One job indeed.
I can’t believe it’s not Fabio on Muni
I wonder who the No. 1 most commonly mistaken celebrity in the world is. Just yesterday at lunch, I was positive that The Jinx‘s Robert Durst was a few seats down from me at the bar. No, it wasn’t him. And yes, I finished my lunch.
Muni rider and friend of Muni Diaries Stephanie sent us the photo above. Methinks this is actually Fabio himself, not a doppelganger. And I am right about this.

What Muni and BART drivers really wanna say
Ever wonder what’s going on in the minds of the men and women at the controls of our public transit on a daily basis? Well, wonder no more.
The Atlantic’s Citylab brings us Above Average’s look behind the curtains, as it were. Pay extra special attention around 1:06.
Surely, one of the other cities they’re talking about cannot possibly be San Francisco? Okay, okay. And sorry that I called you Shirley.
Speaking of transit operators, don’t miss the very first Muni driver we’ve ever had on stage, Driver Doug, at Muni Diaries Live this Saturday at the Elbo Room. Getcher tickets here today!

‘Only on Muni’ head-scratchers
Sure, there’s a lot of weird shit you see on Muni every day. But in a separate class all by themselves are the one-offs, the things you might experience only once, but things that will leave you scratching your head and saying (out loud or to yourself), “Only on Muni, man.” Indeed.
- these senior citizens on Muni look like they’re about to punch each other. “Why don’t you shut up,” said the bearded one
- I don’t even know where I’m going. I got on muni and I don’t wanna get off because I’m lazy to get up.
- On #SFMuni this morning I witnessed a really intense selfie photo-shoot…
- This 70+ year-old guy just walked on MUNI with a huge boner tent. Good for him.
- Saw a smashed burrito on the floor of the 45. Poured out some imaginary salsa for the fallen homie. #RIP

If Emperor Norton rides Muni, so can you
This dapper fellow is none other than Norton I, Emperor of the United States, original champion of “a bridge crossing and a tunnel to be built under San Francisco Bay.”
Actually, the dude in the photo leads Emperor Norton’s Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine, a walking tour of our fair city. We love that modern-day Norty takes Muni. We have to imagine that the OE would’ve taken public transit also.
