Where this Muni bus is going, we don’t need roads
The walk to pick up the bus looks normal enough. Maybe it’s because Muni rider Ileana asked to go “off the grid”?
Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

I mean, I know it’s been hot and muggy lately. But I ask you in all sincerity precisely W in the actual F is happening here?
Ah, San Francisco.
h/t Muni rider Henry: “When the drugs are too loud @ Muni J Line”
Muni rider Ruth recently spotted this fine fellow and his travel companion, a tuba sousaphone. It made me want to gather all the people we’ve featured over the years on Muni with musical instruments (see below). They could have a show on a moving Muni vehicle. Or something.

We saw her in March, traveling through time via Muni. And here she is again a week ago, when another rider spotted this mystery lady dressed in full Victorian (I think? Or let’s just say, old timey) glory. Who is she and where is she going? Muni Diaries HQ wants to know.

Not letting the poor behaviors of Giants fanatics show them up, some Warrior fans took to the streets to show how much they love Dub Nation, one of them by dancing on top of a moving Muni bus. Muni Diaries editor Jeff saw this bus-top dancer. Just a couple of hundreds of volts above your head, no big deal, right, guys?

At least no buses were set on fire. And thankfully none of this should end up in our top WTF moment of the year, right?
This, from Muni rider Thomas: “I was just riding the 49 from Van Ness and McAllister. Down to City College for class. And these dudes get on at 16th and Mission. This fool pulls out a crak pipe [sic] and takes a puff! No one wants their second hand meth smoke!”
While we can’t be sure what these fellas are smokin’, we just know it ain’t cool.
Just the other night, a wasted guy got on my and Tara’s 49 with a lit cigarette. I side-eyes’d him like you do, and he mumbled this and that back. Then some guys behind him told him to put it out. “It’s cool that you’re smoking, but no one on this bus likes the smell.”
We know it’s not exactly a totally new phenomenon, people smoking on the bus. But, SRSLY?
