Please recognize that this is merely a snapshot, a moment in time. Namely, it’s the five best Muni flavors this week. There are infinite flavors, of course. We see and taste them every day. There will be subsequent reports of additional flavors as time goes on.

For now, enjoy these:

  • man on the 19 Polk has a chihuahua with a pacifier in its mouth. I am simultaneously annoyed and delighted #Muni
  • The theme of today’s bus ride is ” having a psychotic episode while picking bugs from my head” . #SFMuni
  • Guy sitting next to me on #muni has a smartphone, earbuds, but no shoes.
  • If you know how to deactivate the magnet that attracts drunk homeless dudes to me on the 49, I’d love to hear #Muni
  • Drunk dude on the N rapping about how he isn’t drunk. #sfmuni #neveradullmoment

These five things on Muni were brought you to my fellow riders @lfagundes77, @yayneabeba, @barry_buck, @rachelshpionka, and @shaughnessy_k8.

Muni is happy to see you, like, all the time

I’ve always wondered. Now Muni rider Lardy Revenger has cracked the case.

“After years of staring at this stupid Muni map, I finally figured out what it looks like–a dick. It’s so obvious, I’m ashamed of not seeing it. But now that I have, that’s all I’ll ever see.”

I honestly hope you are able to unsee.

Does this somehow explain all the evening outbound delays on the N-Judah?

There are lots of things you shouldn’t do on Muni, but here are this week’s four offenders:

1. Talk to Siri.
Woman trying to speak into her phone: “San Francisco, California. No. San Fraaaanciscoooo. Cah-lee-for-neeea.” And then, “Aladdin Bail Bonds. No. NO! Ah-lah-ddin. Baaay-oh. Bonds.”

2. Transport fragile stuff.
@tarintowers: Optimism: Buying a brand-new full-length mirror & transporting it on the 43. #sfmuni

3. Makeout on the phone.
@sdqali: SFMTA needs to enforce a rule on how long an over-the-phone kiss can last while riding the Muni.

4. Makeout in person.
@lumenatrix: It’s too damn early to be forced to watch people making out on the bus

“The Bus” comic written with Muni in mind?

I often am pegged/accused of being obsessed with public transit. I always try to dismiss such silliness. I tell people, “Running Muni Diaries, I meet people who really are obsessed. Like, you have no idea.”

I’m gonna go ahead and say that Paul Kirschner is one of those people. He writes and draws the comic strip The Bus, and it’s pretty nifty. We can all relate to most of the oddities in the strips.
