We heard about a skateboarder making the most impressive exit on Muni yet. Via @robertranting:

God, I wish I were that cool. Double points if his skateboard looks like this.
By far the nicest DIY seating we’ve seen on Muni yet.
From rider Heather:
This guy knows how to travel.
We’ve got DIY Muni seating coming out of our ears over here!

Then, last week, @funtobehad told us she heard the singing Muni driver on the 27-Bryant crooning away. She sent the video above. Anyone know the story on this guy? He gets radness points for saying the transfer lines.

A Broadway-ready Muni driver gets creative with the announcements:
@bhautikj: The driver on the 27-Bryant is theatrically singing the names of connecting lines. Awesome!
Is it the same singing Muni driver from last year? When he’s bigtime famous, we can say we knew him when.

We heard from Muni rider Amy the other day.
Sorry, M.R.F.K.A.M. (Muni rider formerly known as Michael). Guess it wasn’t your lucky day.
These kinds of important dispatches from the field are the grease that keeps Muni Diaries chuggin’ along. What’s your Muni story? Share it here.

What do YOU think of your Muni line? Write your wittiest, most entertaining review of a Muni line on the Muni Google Places page. We have five prizes to give out to the funniest reviews, like this one that we just saw on the Muni Google Places page:
“The 27-Bryant is an amazemagasmic 5-star experience. For a paltry $2 cover charge you get non-stop entertainment for your many-stop trip from the TL crazies to the outer Mission crazies. Live poultry? Done! Mysterious smells and ownerless toddlers? Done! Ranting dude in a wheelchair going only 2 stops and then after deboarding gets up and walks around thanks to the MIRACLE OF MUNI? Done! Muni needs to have a full bar in the back of every bus, and then I’ll never leave.”
Ah, the miracle of Muni. You heard it here first.
