Polite, Proud Balloon Creature on Muni Metro

Leave a comment

*whispers intently*

Behold: a purple balloon monster in its natural habitat: among Uggs and vaguely interested Metro passengers.

As spotted by stuffjosefinawrites on Tumblr, this unique balloon creature joins an esteemed cadre of balloon animals on Muni, usually much more buttoned up and tethered than our wily friend here. Muni Diaries editor Eugenia says she spotted it as part of the Pride parade; like a good reveler, it responsibly took public transit home and kept its hands to itself. Kind of.

Send us your photos of interesting creatures on Muni today.

When the Lights … Go Out … in Muni

100 Muni StoriesI remember the first time the lights went out for me. It was on an NYC subway, and I was pretty sure mayhem would follow. But my experience, and every time it’s happened since, was a lot like @sosaysjonathan‘s.

Yep. Strange, but nice.

*Sorry about that title up there. Couldn’t help myself. Heh.

Muni Adbusters Redux: Gap Is Lucky No. 7

Leave a comment

Just when we thought it was safe to, once again, be bored silly by bus ads, the Muni adbusters have returned. I think this is the seventh installment.

Rider Jeff sent us the pic, saying he saw this Gap spoof on a 1-California on Monday. How many of Jeff’s fellow riders just left Gap with bags of new underwear, we wonder?

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, these so-called Muni adbusters were spoofing popular ads and local businesses back in May. The effort has been lambasted by some for its 12-year-old-boy humor, but with faux brand names like Cum Tums and Fartine, I have no idea why. None at all.

More Muni adbusting here.

100 Muni StoriesWe take these things for granted in San Francisco. But there aren’t too many other places in the world where @trivia_tidbit‘s tweet would make total sense.

And it probably really didn’t even matter. Which it shouldn’t.

Audio: Singing Muni Driver Serenades 27-Bryant Passengers

One comment

We’ve heard about him for years. Here’s some audio from the 71-Haight/Noriega that we posted via Tenderloin Geographic Society back in early 2011.

Then, last week, @funtobehad told us she heard the singing Muni driver on the 27-Bryant crooning away. She sent the video above. Anyone know the story on this guy? He gets radness points for saying the transfer lines.
