Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Muni rider Drea is giidy. She wrote a note to the internets, and we had to share it:
“I met someone on the bus the other day. He was shy but also talked really fast and didn’t stop once I asked him something. I thought it was adorable. :3”
Okay, everybody, repeat after me: “Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww …”

Over on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, RayRay asks, rightly, WTF? What’s this partition for, anyway?
I’ll start: private corner office? Those new-fangled blue-seat buses certainly have a high opinion of themselves, don’t they? Or make-out seats. Definitely make-out seats.
You guys are good at coming up with explanations for such things (see also: the bus-seat “butt holes” of 2010), so get those creative juices flowing and offer up a suggestion.

Literally. Nearly one after the other, we heard about sightings of winged creatures on San Francisco public transit.

Art shows up in the strangest places, and you don’t have to be Banksy to pull it off. Says @spiegelmama:
“Bus floor art worthy of framing.”
Indeed. Is it supposed to be a nagging spouse? A judge? A teacher? In any case, I think this pathos-inducing piece is begging for your commentary and analysis on the state of humanity.
Are you on Muni? What’re you looking at? Tell us at @munidiaries like @spiegelmama did.

There’s an important score to settle here, folks, and we need your help.
Last week on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, we asked you:
Which line would win in a fight? (click links for diaries about that line)
No official tally has been taken yet, although we saw some creative and entertaining responses. Karen says, “The things I’ve seen in 14 cannot be unseen.” It’s fair to say that the 14-Mission leads the pack, with the 19-Polk perhaps a bus-length behind.
We cannot complete this survey without putting it to a vote here. So, tell us who you’re putting your money on. And if your answer is “other,” let us know which route you’d choose.
Go!
Does this count as cats on Muni? As the ranking editor of cats-on-Muni this week, I say yes. Go ahead and make this your desktop wallpaper, I’ll wait.
Anyway, rider Kate spotted this in the wild, noting this “Muni rider takes fashion to the next level.”
I think my favorite one is that little ginger fella peeking over the gray one in repose.
Are there cats on Muni, you ask? You bet your ass there are cats on Muni. Peruse our Cute category for more heartwarming, less bodily fluid-y kinds of happenings on SF transit.
