Everybody on Muni has a story to tell — including the guy in full military regalia, the girls practicing their cheerleader moves, and the King of Muni (scroll down to find him!). Life on Muni is what we’re all about here, and tomorrow at Muni Diaries Live you’ll have the chance to hear tales from the bus live on stage, over a drink or two.

Enjoy these photos and see you tomorrow at the Elbo Room!

Commuter Reflections

A peaceful, solitary ride is like winning the lottery, especially on those cloggy Muni Metro trains. Unless there is untold ruckus on either side of him, this rider seemingly lucked out. Still, call me crazy: I prefer when my public-transit chariot is full and quiet. I like leprechauns and white whales, too.

Nice pic from @jsoncorwin. Join the cool kids and tweet your travels with Muni to @munidiaries.

Photo Diary: Erase Muni in 3, 2, …

Disappearing bus
Photo by Ryan S.

Sometimes photo geekery can lead to the beginning of a pretty cool urban novel. I found this photo via Ryan S. on Flickr, who said:

This pic was the result of the auto-HDR app on my phone; the bus drove through the intersection while the app was taking bracketed-exposure shots, causing it to look like the bus is being erased.

If I were writing some hardboiled science fiction, this photo would be from 500 years into the future, where my memory of Muni is being projected onto an altered version of my self…

Got a cool Muni photo? Drop it in our Muni Photos Flickr pool and help document a very essential part of living in San Francisco.
