Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Things don’t always … how to say this? Don’t always gel or align on Muni. But when you’re deep into reading an actual book* and look up to see that another rider is reading THE SAME EXACT BOOK*, what else can you do but strike up a convo?

BART really needs to revisit its slogan. It’s not always “BART, and you’re there.” It’s often “BART, and you are lulled to sleep by the stress and activities of your day coupled with the sound and feel of the train’s wheels on the rail tracks, you sleep deeply, miss your stop, and then you’re … well, there.” Just not the there you wanted.

Not all bad apples, folks.
Donut socks. Because, donut socks. Not donuts and socks, weirdos! Just … donut socks.
