Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Every once in a while, the universe gives you something really awesome, like a pet goat riding Muni. Can you spot the goat?
This Muni Diaries came from @jasonbraatz on Twitter, who says, “I’m on the 5-Fulton and there is seriously a goat on the bus.” Totally worth my $2.25 fare, don’t you think?
More animal kingdom on Muni over this way, please.

h/t @madmaxflapper for tweeting this side-eyes-inducing gem. Love me some creative signage (and resulting Brangelina-style mashups), but you can sure be a cheeky bastard, Muni.

This isn’t a “who’s the asshole manspreading in the disabled seats” post — no, no, there is a special circle of Muni Diaries shame for those. Look closer, sports fans.
Per CSN Bay Area Sports’ Brodie Brazil, Oakland A’s pitcher Sonny Gray and outfielder Billy Burns, standing left, are hella taking BART. Major delays were predicted due to Bay Bridge construction, and these guys are clearly paying attention.
A reader/rider on the scene, who says this was taken after Monday night’s Battle of the Bay matchup against the Giants, commented on Brazil’s FB post, saying they were “so unassuming and could have been mistaken for regular college guys with their backpacks on!”
Those backpacks don’t happen to be designed by other Oakland A’s teammates and prominently (boldly, fantastically) feature unicorns?
Bonus: Gray is featured in the green-collar baseball ad near the middle of the pic.
(h/t: A’s fan Ericka. Go, Giants.)
Got a BART story? @bartdiaries is your place to share it.
Alex asks on Twitter: “What have I become? I just spent the last several hours making BART fan art.”
To which we answer: You’ve become our favorite person on the internet this week. Is the Muni map next?
@bartdiaries — and probably Bart Simpson — do not have a cow and approve this message.

Attention, everyone: We’ve found the most special man in San Francisco! You know how we know? Look at him here on Muni: his very special, large but delicate balls need — no, we should say deserve — their own space while he reads his very special book, probably pondering especially important thoughts that only he can conjure, because he is such a special unique snowflake. How dare you suggest that he should scoot over for someone else to sit down while he is doing such important work? His universe has no time for such pedestrian ideas like kindness and courtesy, so leave this special man be!
We found this latest manspreading offender courtesy of Muni rider Jack Lakeshore on the Muni Diaries Facebook page. If you find any other special people on Muni like this guy or this equal-opportunity womanspreader, holler at us #munidiaries.
You guys just can’t stop with the Muni <3, can you?
WonderlandSF sells these bad boys, and says they still have some available. My birthday is right around the corner, you know?
Here’s a video of the pinewood derby cars racing at the Wonderland store. Wonderland is on 1266 Valencia between 24th and 23rd, so you can go and check it out for yourself.
