It’s hard to strike up a conversation when you notice someone attractive on Muni, so what’s a single guy or gal to do? A new dating app called Happn is launching in San Francisco, and it promises to help you find the cuties you’ve crossed paths with as you go about your day. The app uses geolocation on your phone to connect Happn users who were in the same vicinities. It’s a pretty smart way to extend the way you meet people in San Francisco. You can check out the app and download Happn here.

Unlike other dating apps that use geolocation to find people near you now, Happn’s stream consists of people you’ve encountered throughout the day. So if you locked eyes with your potential soul mate on the 38 this morning, or if you were too shy to smile at the cute cyclist at the stop light on your lunch break, they may very well turn up in your Happn feed. The app uses approximate location and doesn’t tell you exactly where you’ve encountered each other, and you can only talk to each other if you are both interested. We already see plenty of local users on the app when we downloaded the app too.

Muni encounters can lead to some happy love stories. Who knows, you might be the next one-woman-band on stage regaling us with your tale of How We Met on Muni.

Download Happn here and let us know what you think!

Getting creative with San Francisco’s skyrocketing rental prices, someone posted a Muni shelter in the Castro as your very own fancy open-air studio. According to this Craigslist ad that Hoodline found, the 15-square-foot studio is a steal for four grand:

This cozy Castro studio boasts ultra-modern design, chic red skylight, and cool fixtures – including built-in love seat. Easy access to the street, steps from bustling, trendy Castro eateries and bars. Very close to public transportation and Google bus-adjacent. Snap up this Castro gem before it’s gone!

Bonus: It comes powered with electrical outlets for your Apple devices, optional signage mod, and the occasional popup peep show. Just don’t try to live there when it rains.
