According to you guys on Twitter, there are some new important unofficial rules on Muni.

1. Don’t ever ask why it smells like rotten fish. (via @meganjelene)

2. When the bus is empty, for god’s sake, don’t sit next to someone. (@ericshin)

3. Summer officially begins when tourists take Muni to Fisherman’s Wharf (@c_vogelsang)

4. People who talk on speakerphone on Muni are the worst (and will be publicly shamed?). (@KaiKronfield)

What’s your Muni fight club rule? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thrillist: Map of bars near Muni Metro stops

Not to be outdone by Beer by BART’s map earlier this week, Thrillist’s Joe Starkey has brought things a little closer to home.

Starkey created the map above (embiggen here) and a list of bars “within two(ish) blocks of every Muni stop (that actually has bars near it).” And for that, we thank you, sir.

I see a few glaring omissions. But those are the places I like to drink, so, I’m okay with that, because I don’t like crowds. Also: Get off my lawn!

Use these tools wisely, children.

Mystery face sculptures found at Muni bus stop

Have you seen those strange smiling plaster faces around town, popping up between bike racks and on sidewalks? There’s one in FiDi on Sutter between Kearny and Montgomery, one along Clarion Alley, and one that Bernalwood‘s neighbor Ned saw all over Cortland Avenue. Now we’ve found another one at a Muni stop in Noe Valley, courtesy of danny_frield.

Spoiler alert: MissionLocal says that the smiling faces are by artist Bruce Hallman, and you can take one home if you’d like!
