This week on Muni Diaries was just like any other week, in that it was completely different than the week before. Among other scents and events captured on @munidiaries

  1. Saw my light rail driver pause to hand empty bottles out the window to hunched woman collecting recyclables.
  2. Classical music serenading commuters on the bus this morning – source tbd… #munidiaries #soclassy
  3. the 31 smells like maple syrup… At least it’s a pleasant smell today
  4. “This is the bus I got possessed on.” -talkative religious woman on the 5. #muni
  5. The N-Judah is coming in 6, 6, 6. Uh oh. pic.twitter.com/SJosJ4IILH

Muni Gladiators: Throwdown 2013

14-Mission2

There’s an important score to settle here, folks, and we need your help.

Last week on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, we asked you:

Which line would win in a fight? (click links for diaries about that line)

19-Polk
14-Mission
49-Van Ness

No official tally has been taken yet, although we saw some creative and entertaining responses. Karen says, “The things I’ve seen in 14 cannot be unseen.” It’s fair to say that the 14-Mission leads the pack, with the 19-Polk perhaps a bus-length behind.

We cannot complete this survey without putting it to a vote here. So, tell us who you’re putting your money on. And if your answer is “other,” let us know which route you’d choose.

Go!

Cats selflessly lend their images to Muni rider’s shirt

Does this count as cats on Muni? As the ranking editor of cats-on-Muni this week, I say yes. Go ahead and make this your desktop wallpaper, I’ll wait.

Anyway, rider Kate spotted this in the wild, noting this “Muni rider takes fashion to the next level.”

I think my favorite one is that little ginger fella peeking over the gray one in repose.

Are there cats on Muni, you ask? You bet your ass there are cats on Muni. Peruse our Cute category for more heartwarming, less bodily fluid-y kinds of happenings on SF transit.

Imagine for a moment that San Francisco was filled, to a head, with really boring people. We’re talking Walnut Creek boring. Luckily for us, that’s not the case.

Here are five Muni passengers who keep things interesting for themselves and the rest of us.

  1. Woman singing a song about believing in your dreams while a young man next to me sleeps with his head on my shoulder.
  2. Dude gets on #Muni with Taoism book with flower in it; then starts yelling at everyone and bus driver. Oh the irony
  3. “Girl, don’t you take my picture and put it on that Tweeter.” “I’m reading the New York Times.” #sfmuni
  4. Theres seriously a 2yr girl with a gold tooth on this T-train #sfmuni #tline #sf
  5. you know its a good night when someone is playing “This old man” on the banjo #NJudah
