Yes. A 38-Geary caught fire in the Outer Richmond almost exactly a week ago. The 38-Geary (and its zippy express sibs) are a great many things (drunk tank, most recently) but flammable wasn’t on the list until now. Read more

…if this is what peeps were dealing with on the 38-Geary (AKA rolling drunk tank) Friday night.
Drunk girl sprayed half of 38 with vomit. Bus smells like dead rat. Everybody evacuated but one guy who passed out. Oh #friday @munidiaries

Muni is your cheapest chariot of choice if you’re painting the town red, but please refrain from painting said chariot with your vomit. At least BYOBB (barf bag)?
Do you believe in ghosts? I don’t. But lately, for whatever reason, I’m sorta fascinated with them. Then Muni rider Sean sent us this, and it’s kinda freakin me out:
“Just saw this around 730am on the 5 heading downtown!!!!!!!”
There was a ghost, in a white sheet and everything, on the 5-Fulton, you guys!
A rider took this Seat Jerk to task for not giving up his seat for an old man. But the old man has a different way to give the seat jerk what he deserves.
Dear Muni rider who refused to not be sprawled across two seats so that a 75-year-old man could sit down: I took your picture and told you I did so. Further telling you that I was going to post that picture to my Facebook, and Twitter, and wherever else I feel the urge.

Remember when Paris Hilton got famous for filming a sex tape? Looks like some people had the same idea, but instead of filming it at the Bellagio (which is like, who cares), these guys made a sex tape on BART. Ew.
Readers @realniggajay and @strawnarrybiebs sent this video to our little sis, @bartdiaries, and the video predictably made the internet rounds. If you are so inclined (and are safely out of the view of your coworkers), you can find the video on Vine. NSFW — you’ve been warned.

Wait, WUT!? Christopher was minding his own business, reading a book on Muni, when this happened:
“I put my book down onto my lap. The man had just sat next to me on the 38 bus. The bus was getting crowded and there weren’t too many open seats. I don’t know if he chose this particular seat because he saw I was reading Robert Graysmith’s “Zodiac” -the true story of a serial killer that terrorized Northern California in the late sixties and early seventies- or it was just a great coincidence. Either way, he had my attention.”
