Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
You laugh, but something tells me this works sometimes. Picture it: a crowded commute-hour Metro train, and not one person sits here because of the message.
Instagram photographer @dusteallen asks, “A fair Muni warning?”
Well, is it?
*whispers intently*
Behold: a purple balloon monster in its natural habitat: among Uggs and vaguely interested Metro passengers.
As spotted by stuffjosefinawrites on Tumblr, this unique balloon creature joins an esteemed cadre of balloon animals on Muni, usually much more buttoned up and tethered than our wily friend here. Muni Diaries editor Eugenia says she spotted it as part of the Pride parade; like a good reveler, it responsibly took public transit home and kept its hands to itself. Kind of.
Send us your photos of interesting creatures on Muni today.
Direct from the N-Judah, @skreefermadness put this in the Twittertube for our perusal. In the land of iPads and smartphones, this man is on a calculator. I personally think he’s mocking us screen slaves.
Send us your dispatches from the field to @munidiaries or by posting on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page.
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.

In San Francisco, there’s no such thing as, “I’ve seen it all.” Alas, the “thing” in the photo above, between the two blue arrows.
Seeing people carrying strange things on Muni is oddly reassuring, init?

Hope the crowded train didn’t ruin her manicure.
