The Uneventful Muni Ride

100 Muni StoriesThis tweet made me think of public transit planners, the people who ostensibly want a system of vehicles going from various Points A to B without much happening in between. Yeah, right.

@PickUpABook: Nothing eventful happened on my commute today. With muni, sometimes that’s the best you can hope for

We hear you. Although there are some experiences we hope for.

For the next few months, Muni Diaries is presenting 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories, our way of celebrating Muni’s centennial year. Send us your contribution, or tag your tweets #100MuniStories.

100 Muni StoriesA Broadway-ready Muni driver gets creative with the announcements:

@bhautikj: The driver on the 27-Bryant is theatrically singing the names of connecting lines. Awesome!

Is it the same singing Muni driver from last year? When he’s bigtime famous, we can say we knew him when.

Heard or experienced something quintessentially Muni? A centennial-worthy tale, perhaps? Send us your story via the Muni Diaries submission form or tweet @munidiaries with hashtag #100MuniStories. Read the rest of our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories entries for inspiration.

Photo Diary: The Power of an N-Judah’s “Sorry”

Alice sent in this photo of a very polite N-Judah car.

I am thrilled that the N construction is over. However, the last two days have been ridden with delays. Tuesday, I watched two trains go by my stop and refuse to pick up passengers although there had already been a long delay before they showed up.

Once I finally got on the N, we passed another car and I noticed that it had a message for me. Was it apologizing for failing me today?

This certainly isn’t the first time that a Muni car remembered its manners. It’s never too late to say sorry…or is it?
