Muni is apparently the perfect place to clean between your toes
I hope you had your lunch already.
Muni rider Erich sent this along without any caption. Because, really, does it need a caption?
The Most San Francisco Illustration Ever
Ed. note: The artist was just so proud of his work–and he should be–that he put it up on Instagram before it was ready for its intended publication! We’ve swapped it out at his request for some more of his Muni-themed work, and we’ll be keeping an eye on his page for more.
Original post:
This is pretty much the most San Francisco illustration ever. We’ve got Laughing Sal from the Musée Mécanique, Doggie Diner doghead, Piedmont Boutique stockinged legs, Green Apple Books guy, and Lou Seal. To top it all off, they’re all riding Muni together. Thanks to @danbransfield on Instagram for posting this!
#OnlyonMuni contest winner, and other assorted Muni LOLs

For this Saturday’s Muni Diaries Live, we decided to hold a contest that basically celebrated what this whole thing is all about: Those moments, the sights, sounds, and yes, the smells, that happen “only on Muni.” We asked you to use the hashtag #OnlyonMuni for a chance to win two front-row seats to the show. Today, we’re happy to announce that the winner of those coveted seats is your fellow Muni rider Maggie Ann Glover.
Here’s Maggie’s winning* tweet:
“Once, on the 48, a woman asked me to hold her baby so she didn’t spill her hot coffee. And I did it. #OnlyonMuni“
I mean, right?
Honorable mention #OnlyonMuni tweets include:
“I can assure you that we’re all having a better Monday morning than the guy on my bus chugging vodka. #OnlyonMuni #10am” by @ariananicolay
“38 Geary this morning: Guy gets on the bus eating a bowl of cereal! Full on ceramic bowl and metal spoon too! #OnlyonMuni” by @VerifyInField
Just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you should stop using the tag or tweeting your best Muni moments. We’re always on the lookout over on the Muni Diaries Twitter page.
And we still have a few advance tickets for Saturday’s show available. Act quickly!
Muni driver toots his horn
No, not what you think. Wait, what exactly did you think that headline meant, sicko?
Via Muni rider Josh, “#sfmuni driver blowing a few scales before his route starts. Love it.”
We love it, too!

Accidental hipsters on Muni
The Muni catwalk never ceases to amaze, especially when our collective fall line (so, more pants and a slightly thicker jacket) debuts citywide. It also serves as a reminder that one person’s accidental (or intentional) hipster is someone else’s fashion-forward hero.
Thanks for sharing, Muni riders Msmugler (top) and teekuleet.
