Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
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.
The Tenderloin Geographic Society posted this one today, pointing out the irony of quietly freaking out on a 71.
Who is freaking out on your Muni? Send us a Muni diary today.

Muni rider Jessica has had it with Muni. She writes:
I had been a long time Muni commuter until a job took me to Oakland and forced me to start commuting via bicycle/BART. Now I’m back in the city and at the mercy of Muni when it rains. Last week was particularly bad, and inspired me to start rhyming.
This commuter’s frustration culminated in a very Seuss-ian poem, “An Ode to Independent Transportation.”
I do not miss you Muni bus, who squished and threw and jostled us
I do not miss you 45, recycling and chickens (live!)
I do not miss you 41, iPhone in hands of everyone
I do not miss you 19, too, you smell of B.O. and of poo
I do not miss your route through town, drivers wearing tan and brown
I do not miss your speed, a crawl; I do not miss you, not at all!
Send us your Muni musings, rhyming or otherwise, today.
US Weekly has nothing on Who Wore It Best: Muni. Rider Laura posted these (accidental?) twinsies on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page. Well, who wore it best? Citing distaste for the skinny jeans, commenters were leaning toward our friend on the right.
Staring at an interesting shoescape on your bus? Post on our Facebook Wall or tweet to @munidiaries.
Steve sent us this urgent dispatch from the 14-Mission. Behold: stuffed dog: Pochacco, to be exact. And…
…per Steve, “unattended plastic yellow candy bucket, tot clothes, and mini-Keds.”
WTF, you say? Us, too.
Here we have a probable tooth from the Tenderloin Geographic Society, with some apt commentary:
Of all the buses in all the cities in all the world, why’d this molar have to pick mine?
Also, I know it’s raining, but the little spot of water(?) makes this extra grody.
It is a tooth, though, right?
