You know how sometimes you just stumble upon greatness unintentionally? That happened to us when we were planning last month’s Muni Diaries Live.
One rando day I saw someone post a Throwback Thursday photo of herself and her dad, decked out as he was in an honest-to-goodness Muni operator uniform. I followed the breadcrumb trail to Klee Wiggins, daughter of a Muni bus driver.
Fast forward to that night in November at the Elbo Room, when we were all treated to 12 minutes of delightful and hilarious and touching stories of growing up in a Muni family.
Check out Klee’s performance at Muni Diaries Live.

A popular thread running through this site (and our Twitter and Facebook pages) is complaints about rowdy or harmful passengers riders and the rest of our failure to do or say anything. Well, Dhaya has enough, y’all.
Today on the bus a young man was blasting on his phone what seemed like two engines fighting each other, which was in reality “music.” Although Muni has a sign that says “No Radios,” clearly Muni is run by old fogies who don’t know mobile devices can play “music.”
When the young man asked, “Hey any requests what do you wanna hear?” out loud, I took the opportunity.
“I believe I speak for the entire back of the bus, when I say ‘We request mute.'”
He got upset and said “That’s some SF liberal bullshit.”
I said, “Damn right!”
Then his friend nudged him as if to say, “Don’t mess with those kind.”
Then the other bus patrons smiled at me, while continuing to take inaction.
I just mom’d someone and I’m so excited about this new found superpower.
I hereby nominate Dhaya Muni Manners Sheriff. The terms lasts a lifetime. What say, Dhaya?
They make us laugh. They make us cry. They make us want to flail randomly and take out anything that might get in our way. They are Muni moments. These are our favorites this week:
This edition of Things on Muni is brought to you by your fellow Muni riders @nffo, @fieldingatgully, @seismogenic, @divianne, and @katiejosells. Follow @munidiaries and you, too, can be featured in our weekly roundup of things on Muni.
To be fair, dude has a lot of work to do over the next 20 days. Good thing Santa got some rest on BART yesterday.
