Wishing Upon a Muni Genie

secret transit portrait: wishing for home
Photo by stubbornbeauty

With the upcoming election and a contentious Muni ballot measure, there’s a lot of talk on what can be done to improve our transit riding experience. So, what’s on your Muni wish list?

The last time we asked you the same question in March last year, you told us that on-time performance, more frequent services, and a fix for backdoor boarding were on the top of your list. This time around, do you have new wishes or solutions that you think should be considered?

For me, after my recent trip to Rome, on the top of my wish list is increased frequency for buses and trains. In my version of nirvana, the funding/operation for that would come from a combination of state and federal funding. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

So, tell us, what would you wish for if a genie popped out of a bottle you found on Muni?

Tiny new features on Muni Diaries

We’ve decided to join the rest of the entire freaking internet and add a new feature, which should be familiar to you by now: The ability to “like” posts and comments on Muni Diaries.

If you’re the type that can’t be bothered to comment on a post, yet you read something that someone else said that you a) agree with, or b) think is funny, you can let us all know, anonymously, by clicking the little red “+1” at the bottom of that comment. Same goes for sharing your feelings about a post on MD: There’s now a red heart along with “I like this post” near the bottom of every post.

We decided against a voting-down mechanism. You guys can be nasty to each other on the bus or someplace else. Here on Muni Diaries, we encourage … encouragement.

So have fun with these new features, and keep sending us all that amazing Muni content!

Photo Diary: Go, Giants!

The Giants have much to answer for in this town

Here’s to say: Thank you all for either cheering the team on, or for putting up with/incessantly bitching about the delays and crowded N-Judah and T-Third trains around AT&T Park all season. The Giants advanced to the next round of playoffs by beating the Atlanta Braves last night 3-2.

Delays and bitching will resume next Tuesday (most likely in the evening at the perfectly jack-ass time of 1:19 p.m., according the Giants Twitter feed).

Photo Diary: Me and Joe C.

Over in our Flickr group, Muni rider redletterdayzine implores us to do the following:

Please look closely. This bottle was empty, but it had (at one time) contained Jose Cuervo.
Trying to get this photo while the train was bumping & jostling made for some hilarity; the guy sitting across the aisle from us (nice jeans, buddy!) thought we were insane…

Sometimes it’s hard to find a trash receptacle in this town, right?
