This week’s top Muni moments gave me hope for humanity again. As told to Muni Diaries, here’s what happened on the bus this week:
1. “A fellow rider and I paid another dude’s fare and we each got sweet gel pens in return!”
2. “The Muni driver I had this morning is the same one I have taking me home and she asked how my day was. I love her.”

Last week, we asked what you think of excessing blabbing on Muni during the morning commute. Opinions vary.
Around the same time, Blair (she of the 12-Folsom Fix-It Fame) sent us this dispatch:
“What do you do when it’s [the] Muni driver talking SOOO loudly on their phone??????”
If you’re Oscar the Grouch (see photo above), you … grouch.

How many times a day do you walk past a San Francisco landmark without giving it another glance? Long-time Muni Diaries photo contributor Jeremy Brooks decided that to train his camera lens on the Transamerica Building for a year and captured some amazing shots in his Transamerica View project, which has 256 photos of the landmark building taken in a year. You’ve seen his great photos on the site in lots of posts including the Shoes on Muni series.
From Jeremy:
The Transamerica Pyramid is one of my favorite buildings in San Francisco. I work in a building with a great view of the Pyramid, and have been photographing it for several years. In 2012, I decided to start a project to document an entire year of my view of this building. I took a photo of the Pyramid every day when I got into the office using my iPhone and the Hipstamatic application.

We know they’re leaky. Many of us think they’re hideous. Then there’s this nifty optical illusion, which makes it all okay.
Here’s a closer look:
It would be cool if all the shelters were handed over to SF’s best street artists. There, I said it.
I do often wonder where all those characters from my childhood are. I love how there’s an open seat to his right, but he’s all, “fuck it, i’mma read the paper next to these two dudes.”
Also, I enjoyed watching this. Very Everything Is Terrible.
