Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Photog “revger” snapped this picture on the shelter of a streetcar stop. The anonymous Muni Romeo said:
Work from home Muni Girl,
I should have asked you to join me for tea! Raincheck? (followed by phone number politely blurred by revger)
Yeah, you should have! Hope you got in touch with her, Muni Romeo.
Got another missed opportunity on Muni that you’d like to reclaim? Muni Diaries is here to help.
Last year I spotted the same sign on the 47, and just this week rider Jeff Schwartz sent in another one that he spotted on an outbound 71 bus. I just want to know: who is this romantic bandit changing the signs and making our day just a little bit brighter?
A couple of days ago I posted about weird cargo on Muni, and Muni Diaries readers don’t disappoint! Commenters reported seeing a bed (headboard included), 8′ weather stripping, a sitar, and a walnut veneer speaker.
Today we received a short video clip from rider Mathieu, who spotted a lady carrying a whole zoo of balloon animals on the 49. Wonder where she’s going…
Thanks, Mathieu!
Got photos or videos of strange cargo or other happenings on the bus? You know where to send it.

I found this photo while trolling Flickr for more Muni-related pictures. Is that a surf board and a …black board?
A while back we received a submission from a rider who found a clever way to transport a ladder on Muni. On the 47 the other day I saw a man with a bearded dragon who tried to charge me a dollar to take a photo of it. We’ve see rats, parrots, and a giant spider passing as passengers on our commutes.
Spot any odd cargo on Muni lately? Let us know.

Lugging your soggy umbrella around town? Rider Karoline sent in a Muni haiku this morning:
A ride on Muni
is like hugging a wet dog.
When raining outside.
Ah, I know exactly what you mean. Thanks, Karoline!
How was your ride today on Muni? Let us know.

No Pants seems to have come and gone without much hoo-ha. There was talk in the days leading up to the annual public prank of authorities citing and even arresting participants. We’re glad no one was left to dry … especially without their pants to keep them warm in the slammer.
