Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
You always check your seat on Muni before sitting, right? Well, have you ever seen anything like this waiting for you? Don’t think you could brush this away and Purell up afterwards.
Also, too: Penises sure do make their share of appearances on Muni Diaries, don’t they? Odd, that.

…unless the guy at the very front honks the horn affixed to his cane. Per Sarah:
Hard to tell from afar, but there’s a squeaky horn on the end of that old man’s cane. I wonder if he uses it like a car horn, when people are walking too slowly in front of him, or to tell his wife to hurry up because he’s waiting outside.
It would certainly come in handy on Muni, let’s not kid ourselves here. Bravo, cane-horn guy. Few people can pull this off, but I think he does it well.

On the 76 line in the Marin Headlands.
My second favorite is ‘General Manager’ on the northbound 19-Polk.
“General Manager” is a great WTF-inducer. I have two others tied for first, though: the running ticker of gibberish and Sassy Muni Bus. Please Ho, indeed.
To answer your burning question, though, there is apparently a place called Rifle Range in the Marin Headlands. The National Park Service says you can find those purty Mission Blue butterflies there. Nowadays, it appears to function more as a venue/public space than a shooting range. Please give us a break for giggling, though, as we don’t see “rifle range” on many things around here.
Go ahead, make my day: drop some photo goodies in our award-winning (finalist-making) Muni Photos Flickr pool.

Now it’s December, and Saint Nick is for reals. And he’s so chill about it, he’s taking Muni to creep into your non-existent fireplace and deliver presents. Or not? Spotted by no less than two (count ’em, 2!!!!) Muni riders.

If you see the jolly red dude, gawk for sure. But then share you stories and photos!
From Muni rider Ariel:
“Hmmmm, Zack Galifianakis is that you? No, just a lookalike!”
Nice papoose, dad.
Inside streetcar 1818 as it’s being decorated for the holidays
Last Saturday, Tara and I joined folks from Market Street Railway in what has become an annual tradition: The hanging of wreaths, streamers, and garlands on the historic F-Market/Wharves streetcars.
Here are a few of our behind-the-scenes shots. Look for car 1818 (already a green-and-red livery) on the streets in all its holiday glory soon!

Car 496 (Melbourne) also got some love on Saturday from the volunteers
