Muni a smoother ride than AAU shuttle … 11.27.09
… but riding either is just such a San Francisco treat. Spotted this art, signifying some sort of arts-appreciation something-or-other, on an Academy of Art shuttle Tuesday. I have to say this: It was one bumpy-as-fuck ride. At least Muni buses have shock absorbers. I think.

A mild flurry of tweets came across the wire yesterday from @anthologie detailing a seemingly spontaneous dance-a-thon at the 24th St. BART station. Here’s a recap of the action:
approx. 3 p.m. 2 men dancing to Around The World on the platform at 24th. Man playing violin concertos upstairs.
approx. 4 p.m. 24th st guys still here. Now dancing to PYT.
approx 4:15 p.m. Billie Jean (@ 24th St)
Awesome. What else can we say, really? The only way this would’ve been better is if the tiles on the platform had lit up.
Weekend Photo Diary: Purple BART Man 07.10.09

Something about the purpleness of this guy screams out “this weekend.” Maybe it’s also the fact that no one else seems to be on the platform with dude.
It’s gonna be one of those weekends where San Francisco weather doesn’t really totally suck (morning fog, 60-ish afternoon highs), but where, beginning Monday, the weather suddenly is all “Oh, haha, now I’m awesome. Now that the weekend is over and you suckers are back in the cube.”
Stay warm, have fun, and send us your Muni stories!

Photo Diary: Bacon and Awesome F Car Operator 06.22.09
Rider Chris sent in this photo diary. I want my bacon!
I took this photo in the Colma BART bathroom and was very confused. If I hadn’t stopped eating meat, I probably would have asked the station agent where my bacon was. I got home and randomly found this online, then it all made sense.
(More photos and the awesome F car operator after the jump)
We Didn’t Find Gavin on BART, But We Found… 06.10.09
From Muni and BART rider H.A. Eugene:
I tried to introduce myself, but I got him confused with the big red dog on that kid’s show. He almost bit me.
How embarrassing!
Sincerely, H.A. Eugene.
But he looks so civilized reading the newspaper! Send us your Muni or BART-inspired art or report stranger riders (canine, feline, human, or otherwise).
BART Photo Diary — New Lexicon 04.26.09
From Muni rider Chris:
[This] photo was taken on BART. I’ve heard Butt Munch before, but Penis Munch? What’s next, Vagina Munch? Actually, that sounds like something one might find at Walgreens. “Hey, gimme some of that Vagina Munch!”
