For this Saturday’s Muni Diaries Live, we decided to hold a contest that basically celebrated what this whole thing is all about: Those moments, the sights, sounds, and yes, the smells, that happen “only on Muni.” We asked you to use the hashtag #OnlyonMuni for a chance to win two front-row seats to the show. Today, we’re happy to announce that the winner of those coveted seats is your fellow Muni rider Maggie Ann Glover.

Here’s Maggie’s winning* tweet:

“Once, on the 48, a woman asked me to hold her baby so she didn’t spill her hot coffee. And I did it. #OnlyonMuni“

I mean, right?

Honorable mention #OnlyonMuni tweets include:

“I can assure you that we’re all having a better Monday morning than the guy on my bus chugging vodka. #OnlyonMuni #10am” by @ariananicolay

“38 Geary this morning: Guy gets on the bus eating a bowl of cereal! Full on ceramic bowl and metal spoon too! #OnlyonMuni” by @VerifyInField

Just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you should stop using the tag or tweeting your best Muni moments. We’re always on the lookout over on the Muni Diaries Twitter page.

And we still have a few advance tickets for Saturday’s show available. Act quickly!

Still aglow over the Giants’ World Series victory? Been thinking that Muni’s route names are outdated? Well then, Burrito Justice has got you covered.

I have a plan for improving Muni: Rename the routes after Giants players, and let them drive during the off-season.

Oh, yes (yes! yes! yes!), melikes. My route, the 49-Javier Lopez, suits me just fine. And my route to AT&T Park is my favorite new player and Buster Posey Lite, 12-Joe Panik.

Check out the entire list of this genius idea over at Burrito Justice.

Reserved seating on Muni?

You really never know what you’re gonna get when you board a Muni vehicle. Muni rider sfnative tells about one we’ve never heard of before.

Got on an express bus this morning (long bus). Sat down in a single seat and this woman comes up to me and says, “This is my seat. We’re all regulars (referring to another couple of riders) and this is mine.” I heard her say this, but I had my earphones on so I took them off and said, “What?” She said never mind and went to another seat.

At first I thought she was kidding, but she was dead serious!! Earlier, when I arrived at the bus stop, I was the only one there. Plus there were three empty single seats up front! I can’t believe the nerve of some people! I can’t wait to take “her” seat again!!!

Oh, things could get really interesting …

Muni stories like this are best enjoyed in the company of friends (and drinks). Join us at Muni Diaries Live this Saturday, Nov. 8, for a night of true, hilarious, weird, and sweet stories that can only happen on Muni! Grab a ticket and we’ll see you there!

Above: Someone in 2012 got a little too happy about the Giants winning the World Series that year. That might happen again tonight. The Giants winning the World Series, that is.

If that happens, tonight or tomorrow, please don’t break Muni. Thank you.
