Fast Pass Clipper Card Holders Are Back!
They’re back! Our second-generation Clipper card holders are once again available now in the Muni Diaries Etsy store. They were lovingly crafted by Heather L. — with tough vinyl to protect the real Fast Passes on the cover, and your Clipper Card (or whatever you wish) inside these cool wallets.
Each Fast Pass Clipper Card holder features an image of an old Muni map on the inside and back. Take another look.
The Clipper Card wallets are only $20, and I’ll wrap it up all pretty for you.
So, dress up your plain old Clipper Card. Get one of our Muni Diaries Fast Pass Clipper Card Holders on Etsy!
Riders rally for ‘jazzy’ bus driver

Gawker brings us bus-lovin’ folk the delightful tale of a Minnesota college bus driver who was suspended for what amounted to being too friendly with a passenger. Then his riders rallied on his behalf. Amazing. Read the entire story at Gawker.
This reminds us of some of the golden star bus drivers we have right here in San Francisco.
“Dog” is my co-pilot
Update: Kristin (@halffullglasses) tweeted the same balloon-animal dog to us from the 16X. She says it was piloting her journey through the Panhandle. Have you spotted it, too? Send us your pics @munidiaries.
If you don’t have a real-life dog to bring on Muni, I see nothing wrong with bringing neon balloon poodles instead.

Whether it’s the guys rolling blunts in the back, the reek of their clothes or the guys offer to sell you some you’re sure to be a friend of Mary Janes by the end of the ride even if you are an asthmatic grannie.
