Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
I beg your pardon! Those are brand-new seats, which smell like new toys on Christmas morning! Unless this is just a cautionary message because we’ve soiled our new things already. Could go either way on this, honestly.
Thx to Muni rider Lisa on the Instagramz. Tell your prettiest (or at least most visually evocative) stories to @munidiaries on Instagram.
Resisting many temptations, I’ll just leave this here for all of you to enjoy.
Spotted, recorded, and submitted for taxonomical purposes by We Built This City: “Playing your guitar in the disabled seat on a packed train in which elderly folks are standing? Check!”
Found on Spear Street near Mission, where one would never need adequate wayfinding signs. What’s a Transbay Transit Center? Where is the cable car? Important questions, these.
Between this and fingernail clipping on the streetcar today—that lady and her errant nail bits proved a fine ambassador to our even finer city—I’d like to extend my warmest welcome alongside heaps of good luck to you tourists.
Thanks to Amy of @cappstreetcrap and Tiny Rides for the pic.
Most days, anyway. And unlike the rad “Fuckin Muni” shirts, this message is unambiguous.

Unless that’s your thing, of course.
This probably wasted dude in London just wasn’t having it. The UK’s Express reports from eyewitnesses:
“He started punching the sign and miming getting hit back by it. His acting skills were quite admirable and he completely threw himself into his little crazy role-play. We were rooting for him.”
I wonder who rooted for the sign.

UPDATE: Photog and submitter say this was a training bus: Double oof, if so.
In all fairness, it is really, really hard to make a three-point turn in the city.
Muni rider Deb shared this photo by Gary on the Muni Diaries Facebook page. Oof, right on the busy corner of Stockton and Columbus, too, where I wouldn’t even want to drive a Smart car, much less an articulated bus.
Apparently, after a couple more tries (blocking traffic all the while), the bus driver finally was able to get out of the way without taking down the tree or the building. No word on whether his or her pride was intact.
