Adorable ad from Taiwan wants you to stop ‘newspaper-spreading’

Leave a comment

FullSizeRender

This sweet poster found on the Taipei Metro Rapid Transit train asks you to consider other passengers when you read a newspaper or a book on the train. The little emoji are truly from The Land Of Cute, aka Taiwan. For a edgy version of mind-your-newspaper, this Tokyo subway “space evader” ad gets the point across. Methinks BART’s new etiquette poster has some catching up to do in terms of cuteness, no?

Among the list of things we would really like to see on Muni or BART: a beer tram, a feline etiquette mascot, and a smackdown from Robocop.

Muni poetry as coping mechanism

Leave a comment

things

You guys sure are a creative lot. What better way to deal with the existential crisis that is our public transit, I ask?

  • “Lord it’s too crowded, not just this bus. The whole damn world. People need to lighten up!” driver waxing poetic. #SFMuni
  • The 38 is a earthquake test on wheels. Took awhile to even type this tweet. It’s more bumpin’ than a Lil Jon concert.
  • I used to wash my hands after my #sfmuni #NJudah commute. Now, I take a shower and burn my clothes.
  • Smelling like a dive bar is not cute. #Munidiaries
  • #SFMuni haiku: Castro Street Station; The 35-Eureka; Overcrowded train.

A thrilling (but totally un-recommended) way to ride Muni

Yes, the Muni fare has hiked up to $2.25, but is it really worth it to hitch a ride this way, or am I just engaging in old-person-talk? Wait, don’t answer that. Below are two more thrillseekers we’ve posted in the past, but totally worth revisiting.

A Muni moral quandary: Nail polish vs. BBQ cancer?

2 comments

All the important issues of the day get their time under the glow of lights on Muni. All of them.

Muni rider Laura filled us in on the latest over on the Muni Diaries Facebook page:

“The setting: the 48 Quintara headed for Noe Valley. A passenger whips out her nail polish and begins a manicure next to my mom, who is deathly allergic to the stuff. Mom asks her, politely, to stop. The passenger ignores Mom and finishes her nails. But wait, there’s more: the driver, who is going off shift, strikes up a conversation with Ms. Manicure: he’s going to spend his vacay barbecuing red meat. The divine Ms. M goes off: BBQ is carcinogenic, she says. I ask you, gentle reader: what is more harmful, a BBQ or an aerosolized cocktail of formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP)? Just sayin’…”

You know the saying: It takes all types.

Starfleet Rules Don’t Work on Muni

Update: Leonard Nimoy passed away at 83 yesterday. We wish him a peaceful journey, wherever the great bus in the sky takes him. In our humble opinion, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is probably the most underrated San Francisco movie. It’s worth it just for the Muni scenes alone.

Original post, Sept. 18, 2012: These Muni newbies from the future just don’t understand. 

And here’s what happens once these two got on the bus and discovered that punk rock isn’t so friendly to Starfleet ears.

Muni moments that restore our faith in humanity

Setting aside all talk of malodors and defecation for a moment, this week served up many inspiring nuggets witnessed and otherwise experienced on Muni and documented in 140 characters or less. Here’s a list of greatest hits for this week:

  • I witnessed someone bust out sheet music for clarinet or piano for the Moonlight Sonata on #SFMuni. I now have faith!
  • A woman just proposed to her girlfriend on a crowded 24 bus. Couldn’t get a picture but it was really sweet.
  • Something about the Muni 5 line brings out inner DJing desires in ppl. At least today it conjured Marvin Gaye
  • Another NJudah full of schoolchildren. However this time one polite student offered me her seat. Well done, Holy Name School.
  • Never Apologize for rocking out to @NeilDiamond on a muni bus. Ever. #truth

This round of Things on Muni is brought to you by your fellow Muni riders @sarunikai, @neongolden, @thedig, @goldfine, and @TheBrianLake. Wise up and share the love (and hate) on Twitter @munidiaries.
