Video: What Not To Do When You See a Muni Cutie

Dating season is off right now, so you have a little time to figure out what to do if you see a cutie on the bus. Whatever you do, don’t write a freaky-ass note to broadcast your love for butts. That’s one thing that you’ll learn from this video that we found via StyleCaster.

Like, don’t do this (a scene from the video).

Come on, New Yorkers. If you must write notes, try it this way (via @LindapopSF‘s blog, Popup Poems).

Much better.

Needles on Muni for the Holiday Season

Not those needles.

Ever since @sabrinabot tweeted this:

for some, red cups signify the start of holiday season. for me it’s knitters on the muni. saw two today, the holidays can begin!

…we’ve seen our fair share of them, too. With less than two weeks to go, I expect to see even more commuting elves working on handmade projects.

Since we do live in Scarf City, Fogland USA, knitting is a popular transit pastime year-round. Just ask Hooked on Muni (great name), every mischievous devil on International Yarn Bombing Day, and the good citizen who knitted coozies for the shelter seats, pictured above.

How’s your handmade holiday project going? Send us your knitted-on-Muni creations or your pics of the knitting elves. Spin your yarn (HAHA) to muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com.

San Francisco is a city of characters and photographer Robert B. Livingston captured many of them in transit in this photo gallery. From clown going home on a slow day at Fisherman’s Wharf to a sweet couple waiting for Muni, every photo seems to be the start of a story — a Muni story, maybe?

This Saturday is the San Francisco Santarchy, when hundreds of Santas will descend on San Francisco. So take some pictures and show them to those pesky people who told you Santa Claus doesn’t exist! And if you catch St. Nick on Muni, you know we’re dying to see it.

The main starting point is at the Civic Center station at 12:30 p.m., so get your red velvet outfits ready.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!
