Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Here’s a trip down memory lane: Recognize this BART station? Yes, that’s Duboce Park providing the greenery behind the station, but what gives?
@McClure_SF on Twitter posted this photo of a BART station built some time in 2005 for a Will Smith film.
A power nap can increase productivity, boost your memory, and give you a surge of creativity and energy. Additional benefit of power napping on Muni? Better immunity to all sorts of germs that’ve been marinating on that floor.
Thanks to Courney H. for the photo.
I don’t know who he is, where he comes from, or what his agenda is. But this guy was spotted waiting for Muni recently, and I couldn’t not share that with you. Happy Monday!

Anything can happen on Muni, but would you ever have imagined a Muni-themed madrigal choir, a hip-hop group whose entire album is about Muni, or Muni riders in a Rice-a-Roni singalong? Me neither, and yet these are just a few of the only-in-San Francisco hilarious things that have really happened at Muni Diaries Live over the years. We’re a short few weeks away from our spring Muni Diaries Live show, as always with an excellent lineup.
For this event, we’ve got a little something for the hipster (or grandma) in you: a Muni bingo game! Get your bingo daubers ready to win great prizes, booze or otherwise!
Grab your tickets here, and we’ll see you soon!

Here’s another reason why we should all look up from our phones every once in a while on the bus: read something, look out the window, or make some art. This time-lapse video of an artist drawing an impressive portrait on Muni — in color, no less — is courtesy of George Cwirko-Godycki (find him on @insta or on Etsy).
Other ways art make Muni rides so much better:

When you’re incredibly flexible and have a yoga mat while waiting for BART, naturally this is what you do! This video at Montgomery BART station came from Harry McCracken on Vine.
