Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
A peaceful, solitary ride is like winning the lottery, especially on those cloggy Muni Metro trains. Unless there is untold ruckus on either side of him, this rider seemingly lucked out. Still, call me crazy: I prefer when my public-transit chariot is full and quiet. I like leprechauns and white whales, too.
Nice pic from @jsoncorwin. Join the cool kids and tweet your travels with Muni to @munidiaries.

Update (6:02 p.m.): We just heard from SFMTA, who says the official announcement contained an error. 14L service to Daly City BART begins Monday, not Saturday. Muni will run the buses to Daly City in the mornings and evenings only.
Original post: Just in time to ferry people to the next Muni Diaries Live, Muni has announced that, beginning this SaturdayMonday, the 14L-Mission Limited will begin serving the Daly City BART station.
SF Appeal has the story.

The N-Judah has just been found to be the most accident-prone Muni line, according the San Francisco Examiner.
The line, which carries passengers from Ocean Beach to the Caltrain station on Fourth and King streets, was involved in 84 collisions between 2008 and 2011, making it far more accident-prone than the five other Muni train lines.
The Examiner collected data from 2008 to 2011. But there may be a reason that the N-Judah has the most number of accidents, according to the SFMTA. From the Examiner:
The N-Judah carries more people and requires more service than any other Muni line, which is one reason it has so many accidents, said spokesman Paul Rose of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. He said the agency is seeking ways to make the line safer, and he noted that accidents have dropped for the past three years.

, who said:
This pic was the result of the auto-HDR app on my phone; the bus drove through the intersection while the app was taking bracketed-exposure shots, causing it to look like the bus is being erased.
If I were writing some hardboiled science fiction, this photo would be from 500 years into the future, where my memory of Muni is being projected onto an altered version of my self…
