Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
What’s grosser than gross? Fingernail clippings on a train seat.
What’s grosser than that? Watching someone clip their toenails on BART. Grab a barf bag and see above.
This also reminds us of that one time (we hope) when someone cleaned between their toes on Muni.
Via BART rider Jonathan: “dude cutting his TOE nails on BART this morning #gross #somecivilitypls #minger”
I think he should’ve shared … the seat and the pizza pie.
Via Muni rider @jina: “I call this: “pizzaspreading”
Anna and Dentrick McNorton met on BART 19 years ago and got married a few years later, proving that budding romance, alongside measles and rage over bike-related rule breaks, can also incubate on those trains.
Their story reminds us of friends of Muni Diaries Nick and Lisa, who also had a chance encounter on BART. They even incorporated BART blue into the wedding design!
Congratulations, you crazy kids.
Some people call tomorrow “Valentine’s Day,” but I really prefer Single Awareness Day, Whiskeyful, or Black Saturday. Whatever you call it, you have 24 hours to either walk slowly and determinedly into the ocean, smother someone with a pillow at Justin Herman Plaza, load up on Franzia, or find that soulmate you met on the N-Judah.
That’s where WeMetOnTheN comes in. Alex Lee built a dating site just for N-Judah riders (talk about hyperlocal!). Alex got the idea, appropriately, during a ride on the N: “It was maybe a Thursday or Friday evening, where I saw a guy sit down and introduce himself to a girl. Bold move. And that just made me think. There must be a lot of people who want to introduce themselves to someone they find interesting or attractive, but it’s just too painfully awkward. Or crowded. It is the N, after all.”
So, N-Judah riders, don’t say we never do anything nice for you! And for the singletons on the rest of the Muni lines: relax, dating season starts Sunday, when you’ll be spared from awkwardness for another 364 days!

Let’s play Muni Mad Libs for a sec. “It’s not every day that you see _________ on Muni.”
Muni rider Cycling Pup‘s answer: “Random acts of Rope Bondage.”
Boy do I love this city …
