Video: Old-timey Muni buses in action

One comment

It was throwback weekend recently for Muni.

YouTube’s Party of the Third Part posted video of our friend and Muni Diaries Live favorite Driver Doug taking the wheel of one of the fleet’s 1969 buses. There’s another video of Muni Heritage Weekend, this one of the adorable boat tram, here.

Oh, Driver Doug. You’re such a consummate pro.

And because seeing him drive isn’t enough, come listen to Driver Doug dish out more rider tips and Muni driver insights this Saturday at the Elbo Room. He’ll be joined on stage by some charming and hilarious Muni storytellers. And the Muni Haiku Battle will get a surprise new twist!

What do Muni drivers really think of you? Find out at Muni Diaries Live!

Leave a comment

Every day, you help us document a slice of San Francisco life here on Muni Diaries. And twice a year, we bring your stories live to the stage. Come celebrate all the funny, sweet, and weird things that happen in our city at Muni Diaries Live next Saturday, Oct. 10.

For this show, we’re welcoming back Driver Doug (above), who’ll tell you what Muni drivers really think of us. At the last show, he told us about secret hand signals, tricky fare boxes, and how a Muni driver can tell whether you’re really ready to get on the bus. Get ready for even more behind-the-scenes tales from the driver’s seat.

Doug will be joined by the rest of a great lineup: storytellers Cara Tramontano, Jerry Lee Abram, Kristee Ono, and Gabriel Armstrong. And you just cannot miss a Muni haiku face-off between Baruch Porras-Hernandez and reigning champion Ronn Vigh. Musical guest Satellite High wrote an entire rap album based on Muni stories—you can’t get more San Francisco than this.

Pro tip: Unless you really love standing in hella long lines, advance tickets are the way to go.

Help test Muni’s new ticketing app

MuniMobile

</snark>No, seriously.

You have a phone. You ride Muni. You are thus eligible to beta test Muni’s new mobile ticketing app, MuniMobile. From SFMTA:

MuniMobile enables customers to purchase and use transit fares across the Muni system.

Buy Muni tickets and passes in advance or on-the-go! With MuniMobile, your phone is your fare. There’s no longer need to carry exact change or rely on fare vending machines to ride.

If you complete this survey by next Tuesday, Oct. 6, you could be chosen to test the app. Nothing could go wrong!

Dammit, go away, Snarky McSnarkerson!
