Category: Aww: Cute on Muni
Random nice gesture on Muni or kind of creepy? You decide
Here is a kind of cute (I think) Muni moment on the 38-Geary from @saytchy on Instagram, who reports: “Some dude on the bus was making cranes, and offering them to female passengers.”
But what about the dudes, dude? Is this kind of odd or kind of cute? Can’t decide, but I do love a surprise moment or two in my week, like a little drawing or a lovely tune.

One good reason for a cable car operator fist bump
This Muni moment makes my day:
Only in SF would you get a fist bump from the cable car driver for running through traffic to hop on when he stopped for you. His reply, “Thank goodness that tourist didn’t try to follow you.”
Thanks to @lazataz for submitting this on Instagram! I love hopping on the cable car after going to Trader Joe’s and just enjoying the view, imagining that the tourists around me are envious that this is our ride to the grocery store.

Cat on a leash getting on Muni is totally normal
On Twitter, @Smooches415 asks: “People who walk their cats?!?!?! Really????? And you want to bring it on the bus?”
Good questions for cat ladies everywhere, and all I can say is that I can see absolutely nothing wrong with this picture! In fact, this woman is living one of the many dreams that I have still yet to make into reality. Others include: training a shoulder-riding cat, wearing sunglasses while chillin’ in a cat stroller, and a cable car-shaped cat tree, all while wearing a very fabulous cat blazer.
If you’re going to live out some of these cat lady dreams for me, here are some tips for taking your feline on Muni.
Artist captures ‘The People on the SF Metro Muni’ in zine format
Okay, we’ve done it. We’ve found the coolest thing ever in the Muni Universe. Gabi put together the zine, featured in GIF format above, of various fellow Muni Metro riders. She’s selling or trading for the zine. Message her if you’re interested.
Doves keep crying for Prince in Muni graffiti
Heaven will never be the same now that Prince has joined the ranks, and the mourning continues down here on Earth for The Purple One. Thank you @lanceblastoff for snapping this Kurt Vonnegut-esque graffiti on Muni. We’re still playing that bit of “Kiss” from the one-woman band/mime at Muni Diaries Live, and hoping that raspberry beret will always have a special meaning.
By the way, out of all the Prince live show clips, this one from Afropunk will really blow your mind as Prince kicks serious ass on every single instrument on stage.
