Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Then another rider reported a sighting of this tropical duo. @DukeofMergers spotted the same rider on his bus with the parrot on his shoulders.

Any more sightings of this parrot or other creatures of note today? We can’t get enough of the Muni zoo.
elijahellis.com posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page, describing the scene from the 1-California:
With Muni our chariot, Charlotte and dad seeking grass this sunny Saturday.
I never look this happy to be on Muni. Ever. But maybe I should give it a shot, stuffed animal and everything.

We don’t have to tell you that our public transit system is far from perfect. So what do you do to make up for what our bus system lacks?
This year we’re honored to be on a panel at South by Southwest to talk about data solutions for public transportation. We’ve seen the many ways that Muni riders use social media to communicate about what’s happening on the bus in real time when the official information isn’t fast enough. So tell us how you think Muni and other transit systems can use technology to improve our commute:
What’s on your Muni wishlist?
More bus shelters with NextBus data? Better arrival prediction? Yet another Muni mobile app? Throw your wish in the hat!
And if you’re going to be at South by Southwest, please come to our panel:

David posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page. Psst, up top: Please Love Back is watching your every move, so be nice out there.
Please Love Back is a Muni Diaries favorite — spotted so far on the 47-Van Ness and the 71-Haight/Noriega. We hope it makes you crack a smile, too. But let’s not diminish the importance of moving back, too. Please, for the love of god and all that is holy, move back on crowded buses.
If you’re on the go, send us stuff the quickie way by posting on our Facebook Wall and tweeting @munidiaries.
