Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Muni newbie lesson number one: that clear liquid on your seat? It’s not water. So what do experienced Muni riders do? Bring your own seats, of course. While running Muni Diaries from our living rooms the last few years, we have seen so many DIY seating submissions that I had to put them all together here just for pure amusement.
Here are all the chairs we’ve spotted on Muni. So. Many. Chairs! Read more

First things first: WTF?
Paige brings the light of day to one of the weirdest/creepiest stories we’ve seen in our years of rounding up weird/creepy stuff on Muni. Here’s Paige:
I was riding the 33 bus line and sat in the open seat next to a man who looked to be in his mid 20s. I sat down, got out my headphones, plugged them into my phone, started playing music, then proceeded to play Temple Run. I was minding my own business while my friends were in other parts of the bus in seats. My friend came up and said something to me and then we began chatting a little as I had the headphone facing the man sitting next to me still in.
The man was talking to his friend on his phone, which I believe was a Galaxy. He accidentally dropped his phone between us while talking, then picked it up and said “sorry” and I replied with a laugh and “it’s okay”. The man then took the headphones out from the plug in his phone, tapped my shoulder, and said to his friend, “hey, here, talk to this girl sitting next to me”. He made me talk to his friend on the phone …

Ever wonder what’s really behind all the things Muni does that frustrate you? Christopher knows the answer.
I got a seat on the Muni underground today and for I think the first time ever I had a clear view of the tunnel as we traveled along. It was pretty cool, although annoying when we stopped because another train was going through the tunnel. Then I thought that maybe all of MUNI’s troubles are due to ghost trains coming and going all night and all day, and then I thought about how that would make for a new TV show.

I, just, I have so many questions. Sometimes, it’s senseless gummy bear death. Sometimes, it’s this.
For the uninitiated, this is a tampon applicator. There used to be a new tampon in this, but there is no longer a tampon (of any kind) in it. As far as I can tell, anyway.
Per @glopdemon on Twitter: “Here’s a cool thing to find in the window of the bus.”
Muni rider Nick has the following report:
“When there aren’t any available seats on the train and/or the fire sprinklers go off, we’ll see who’s laughing then!”
Translation: SNAP!
Ewwwwww!
Dina reports on this astounding Muni find: “did someone get scalped on the 29?? Or get their weave pulled out?”
Also, ewwwwww!!!!
