Jessie on Instagram had a fun Muni moment the other day at the Forest Hill station: “En route to class today I met Mona and her human. Never a dull moment on Muni.”
Muni is more often the mobile aviary than one might think. Here are more cute animals on Muni for your Friday reading pleasure.
*deep breath*
It’s finally here. Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters tonight (official opening is Friday, but why wait?). This has to be, like, theeeeee most anticipated movie since … the last round of Star Wars movies. Those went well, right*?
What better way to celebrate the new movie in our bright little corner of the Internet than to revisit those times that Star Wars has show up on Muni? We can’t think of one, either.

Sunglass Cat is a “special needs” cat with a medical condition that requires wearing shades at almost all times, including riding BART. In case you think that its Person also dresses up the poor cat in silly undignified costumes, this is actually necessary to keep him warm! According to Sunglass Cat’s Facebook page, he can’t regular his body temperature so in the winter, Sunglass Cat needs many cozy outfits for his outings. Get ready for an express train to Feeladelphia when you watch the video above of the kitty wearing Christmas gear and bedazzle shades on the train.
At Muni Diaries Live in October, Jerry Lee Abram shared tales of days past, when Muni shelters were domed and … and just worked, you know? One Dyke March, Jerry and his friends climbed up on one said shelter and took it all in. Watch the video above to get that double-entendre.
Twice a year, we bring your uncanny tales to the stage at Muni Diaries Live at the Elbo Room. We’re pleased to announce that Elbo Room recently renewed its lease through January 2018. We all breathed sighs of relief upon hearing that news. The next Muni Diaries Live will be in spring 2016. We’ll announce the date as soon as we’ve booked it.

Good sport Ashley’s mom had the sense of humor to pause and pose for this photo amid getting stuck in a BART turnstile. [pause for applause]
Ashley says, “My mom got stuck her first Bart ride haha”
Thanks for being so cool about it, Ashley’s mom. And thanks for the photo, Ashley!
