“Dog” is my co-pilot   10.05.11

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.

Spotted on Steuart Street: the tucked-away terminus of some Muni lines and home to the San Francisco Railway Museum. Rock on, snoozing bus #8205.

If you don’t have a real-life dog to bring on Muni, I see nothing wrong with bringing neon balloon poodles instead.

Ah, how thoughtful!

Yet another case of taking the issue of Muni seating into our own hands.

See more seating options, inspired by other cities who think you’re a public transit royalty.

Making an Appearance on Muni Today …   05.13.11


Photo by @CantaloupeBeard

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.

With 94 percent certainty, I say it’s a reaper (originally, I said, “scimitar,” perhaps because I just really like that word). Eugenia told me, “i squinted and have no idea what I’m looking at…jock strap?” We could easily both be wrong.

Seeing people carrying strange things on Muni is oddly reassuring, init?

Hope the crowded train didn’t ruin her manicure.

This one really makes me think how cool a Muni-themed photography show would be.

Muni on Abbey Road?   03.26.11

THIS IS NOT THE BEATLES ABBEY ROAD ALBUM COVER.....Scanned from original slide.

Got you for a minute there, huh? This photo, uploaded by “Muni – Better Late Than Never” on Flickr, looks a lot like the Beatles album cover, down to the Volkswagen on the left side of the photo, as a commenter pointed out. But it is actually a photo of a Muni streetcar that just left the old Transbay Terminal and heading towards Market on 2nd Street.

Photo Diary: Reserved Seating for Cute Passengers   02.22.11

This is not your everyday typical Muni rider. @justjon_com found this passenger in the reserved seating area:

“These Seats Must Be Vacated For Stuffed Animals” (and seniors and disabled persons)”

What did you see on Muni today? Share it with your fellow riders on Muni Diaries.

Photographer Troy Holden does it again. This photo is exactly why I love living in San Francisco. ‘Nuf said.

Troy is a part of the amazing website Caliber. If you haven’t checked out Caliber, I highly recommend it.
