Oh, the things people do and say on Muni

My favorite way to talk about odd shit that happens on Muni is to pass it off as though it were totally normal. Apparently, I am not alone in this:

  • This man gives zero fux. Farts, keeps his leg upšŸ™Š I’m trapped in a corner w terrible ventilation
  • That moment when you’re hungry, and someone gets on the bus w/ šŸ•. Can I have a slice or two?
  • That moment the dude next to you is in the process of breaking up with his g/f on the phone. #munidiaries
  • I love when people talk about their jail time and legal strategies on #SFMuni.

This week’s Things on Muni is brought to you by your fellow Muni riders @iemSandy, @ldeap3, @DaneYoshida, and @JeanPodrasky. Contribute your verse by following Muni Diaries on Twitter.

Giant Bubble Wrap Dare on Muni

bubble wrap on Muni

Muni rider Kim is on his way to bubble wrap all the things! I ran into Kim on the 38-R as he boarded the bus with his enormous cargo. He was nice enough to let me take a photo of his bubble wrap, but I didn’t ask him if I could pop a bubble because that would just be creepy, right?

Turns out someone else on the bus was equally impressed with Kim! Here’s a shot by Muni rider Lorena from the back of the bus.

Congrats, Kim, you have officially entered the Muni Diaries Strange Cargo Hall of Fame. You’re in good company with this styrofoam mountain and taxidermy deer head.

This evening you can see some of our favorite San Francisco photographers display their work in a properly gritty, urban setting. City At Large II is an outdoor photography exhibit where photographs are enlarged up to 8 feet tall and installed onto brick walls using only wheat paste. The effect is pretty stunning, thanks to these five photographers:

Emmanuel Blackwell
Rian Dundon
Dave Glass
Troy Holden
David Root

For Muni-riding artists out there, here’s your chance to shine a light on your work. The nonprofit organization San Francisco Beautiful is partnering with SFMTA to commission original artwork to be digitally reproduced for display in 50 Muni Art buses in San Francisco this fall.

Five winning designs will receive a cash prize, and each have their work displayed in 10 buses for four months. Artists have until June 19th to submit a proposal (details here).
