Please Love, Move Back

David posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page. Psst, up top: Please Love Back is watching your every move, so be nice out there.

Please Love Back is a Muni Diaries favorite — spotted so far on the 47-Van Ness and the 71-Haight/Noriega. We hope it makes you crack a smile, too. But let’s not diminish the importance of moving back, too. Please, for the love of god and all that is holy, move back on crowded buses.

If you’re on the go, send us stuff the quickie way by posting on our Facebook Wall and tweeting @munidiaries.

Muni Rap: I’m on the Bus!

Local hip-hop artist Satellite High pays tribute to a San Francisco must: Muni, of course. His new song is called “I’m on the Bus!”

And it’s better than a boat.

Here’s what the Satellite High says about the song:

Finding himself on the bus, our hero begins to relax and fantasize about a perfect world, one where he is recognized as a bus superstar and doors open automatically for him wherever he steps.

The bus makes several wrong turns, though, and interrupts our narrator’s reverie as he berates the driver for his carelessness before eventually disembarking at his home.

On Twitter, @rsomething hipped us to the song, which even samples the Cantonese and Spanish versions of Muni announcement.

The album was just released but it has that nice mellow ’90s hip-hop flavor. The full album is an ode to the bus (listen on Satellite High’s Bandcamp page).

Trampoline on Muni? Of course.

Rider Rhonda snapped a photo of more curious cargo on the 33-Stanyan heading inbound yesterday afternoon near Castro and 18th St.

A trampoline… really? a trampoline? Just the sort of thing you need on a Sunday outing I guess.

Add this to the strangest cargo you’ve ever seen on Muni. The other day I saw a couple carrying two huge pillows on the bus, and just yesterday a guy carrying a small bronze statue of two cupids kissing. In his backpack!

Thanks for the photo, Rhonda!

A Muni Metro’s Alternate Art Universe

The other day, we posted some art of the 15-Third line (aka, the “15-Fisherman Warf”). Lest we forget about the Metro, reader Carina sent us this image above, explaining:

I took this picture in the Sunset the other day – the Muni logo is clearly visible!

Indeedily, I love how you can identify the Muni worm from a mile away. I’m a little worried about the red-bootied person hanging out of the window, though.

And, yes, we know Metro LRVs don’t cross Haight and Ashbury, but I’m OK with some artistic freedom.
