This Saturday: Muni Burlesque, Muni Bingo, and Only-in-SF stories!

if you want it

Where can you find a club full of people who love San Francisco as much as you do, aren’t too snooty to ride the bus, and will cheer at the mention of “Back Door!”? You’ll find good company at Muni Diaries Live this Saturday, where you can raise a glass with your fellow commuters and toast to the hilarity of riding Muni (and BART, too!).

We’ve got a stellar lineup of performers with all the funny, sweet, and sometimes totally WTF stories that happen on Muni and BART. And for this show, we have the lovely Alexa Von Kickinface, co-host of San Francisco’s infamous and beloved monthly burlesque show—Hubba Hubba Revue! Muni plus burlesque? You’ll have to see it for yourself.

Oh, and dust off your bingo daubers! For the first time, we’re playing Muni Bingo, and you can win free drinks at the Elbo Room bar! My hands are currently covered with glue from renaming all 75 bingo balls to Muni lines, so make it all worthwhile and come play Muni bingo with us! There are only a handful of tickets left in advanced sales, so get your tickets soon!

BART Escalators: Broken and Filled With Trash

Leave a comment

BART_trash2

Used to be we were okay with BART escalators being covered in pee and poo. Then, funny thing happened: We found out that that was the case. BART found out we found out, and decided to do something about it. Sort of.

What has ensued is what feels like centuries (literally!) of broken BART escalators all over the Bay Area.

BART rider and friend of Muni Diaries @TheRealWBTC noticed recently that at least one out-of-service escalator at Powell Street Station has, um, started to fill up with a different kind of waste (above, from below, and above from below).

My question for BART: What exactly is going on here?

Your Annual ‘Take Muni to Giants Games’ Notice

Leave a comment

opening_day_muni

We’ve been through this before, you guys. Still, doesn’t matter. Baseball is back! Spring has sprung! Muni vehicles anywhere remotely close to AT&T Park on game days will be that special snowflake shitshow we’ve all come to expect, whether we accept it or not.

Still, and rightly so, SFMTA really wants us to take Muni to the game. If you’re not hoofin’ it, riding your bike (the SF Bike Coalition offers free bicycle storage right there in the belly of the stadium, btw), or god forbid, taking a car (for shame!), here’s some info that might pertain to you:

Opening Day for the 2016 Major League Baseball season is nine days away and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) encourages San Francisco Giants fans to make their plans for getting to and from AT&T Park on game days […] The Giants will play 81 regular season home games this year at AT&T Park, April 7 through Oct. 2. The Giants’ home opener is Thursday, April 7.

And here are the routes that will get you to or close to your favorite baseball team:

  • T Third
  • N Judah
  • 10 Townsend
  • 30 Stockton
  • 45 Union
  • 47 Van Ness

Oh, and if you’re going to today’s game, here’s a note you can show your boss, signed by Gold Glove/Silver Slugger Brandon Crawford (courtesy San Francisco Giants Baseball Club):
