The Saddest Abandoned 5-Fulton Bus There Ever Were
Muni rider Ryan had the keen eye and sent us this photo. I guess service reductions just weren’t enough for budget-challenged Muni.
Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

This week we find out that Murphy’s Law dictates maximum embarrassment when you are caught without your fare. Here are your top five big Muni moments of the week!
1. Driver (over the intercom, as two guys board the train with fishing poles): “I wanna go fishin with y’all!”
2. Best excuse we’ve heard on Muni so far: Man outside to Muni driver: “I just got out of jail man, let me on the bus.”
3. Rider Matt smelled durian on the 29 and hoped that the owner of this tropical treat will share the wealth. We think Matt might be the only one wishing for durian on the bus, though.
4. Nutrition lesson overheard on the 38L: Mom holding cow doll: “What do cows eat?” Child: “Pizza!” Mom: I don’t know. Pizza is heavily processed.”
5. There’s no shame worse than not paying your fare and being escorted off by Muni Police in front of all the babes. Lesson learned.
This week’s Muni moments feature @jawanzadbl, @sallypinata, @medium_matt, @xxriabellaxx, and @laurent4508. Got your own Muni moment? Tweet it to us at @munidiaries!
Didgeridoos: Using public transit to get to your next musical adventure.
Didgeridon’ts: Riding Muni barefoot, ever, for any reason, regardless of cargo.
Via @archijoey: “barefoot dude on 45 union with didgerido.”

Hey important PSA. We also came across another, more positive message for guys recently.
Happy hump day, everybody.
Eva’s Muni ride was made a lot more eventful when a wardrobe malfunction happened on the bus. She wants to know if you saw it too.
Today (March 7, 2013) around 4:30pm: I got off of the 14-Mission on Mission and Geneva and remembered that I actually got off too soon, so I turned back and waited for people to continue exiting the back door so that I could board back on.
Then this raggedy dude, who was probably drunk or just stupid, stepped down the Muni steps. As soon as he stepped on the sidewalk, his pants dropped to his ankles and he was butt naked! No underwear! No nothing! So of course I look away and move away! People laughed and were shocked by what we just witnessed. He mumbled a sound like “oh,” but didn’t pull his pants up!
I got on the bus and looked back. I saw the naked man’s pale, wrinkled butt pissing in the Bank of America parking lot. I guess he walked with his pants down from Muni’s back door to the bank parking lot. Not caring who saw him. GROSS!
LET ME KNOW IF YOU WERE ON THIS BUS AND SAW THIS DISGUSTING MOMENT!
Well. Sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Please take a moment to admire this stunning picture by Jeremy Brooks. Done? Ok, here are five of the biggest moments that happened on Muni this week:
1. A Muni driver is brushing his teeth on the bus. Yay for dental hygiene?
2. A rider ran into her ex-boyfriend from Modesto with his “new boo” on the 14-Mission. I hope you were looking hot, girl.
3. Rider Kim got proposed to by an old man on Muni. “Would you marry me for my money? Think about it.” TEMPTING!
4. More things to do on the bus? Practicing your xylophone. True story.
5. Two guys in long trench coats recited a best-of version of Dr. Who episodes to kill time on the 38-Geary. I’d pay to see that.
