Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
This skater done hitched a ride on a Muni light-rail vehicle. Crazily, this isn’t our first such Muni daredevil sighting: In 2011, we posted about this cyclist who couldn’t be bothered with the Muni right-of-way and the hill it bypasses on the J-Church line.
Says Muni rider K L, “Today only! #SFMuni offering free rides to thrill-seekers. #girlpower #SF”

The San Francisco SPCA Adoption Center has reopened, and how. The newly remodeled facility features San Francisco-themed cat condos fit for a king (or the cat who thinks he’s a king).
Wouldn’t you know it, this precious micro version of the city, per @kevinmonty, includes a cable car. I know the inclination is to be all, “HA, cats would never show up on public transit,” but cats totally show up on public transit, if you’re wondering.
Learn more about adopting through SF SPCA here.
According to Peter, what does it take for the perfect transit experience? A rad destination and open-container boozing on the bus, of course.
SF Chronicle columnist Peter Hartlaub graced the stage at Muni Diaries Live this April with tales of frozen turkey/bologna sandwiches, screensavers, and mullet’d Muni drivers. Who wouldn’t want to freeze the moment on their last Muni ride to Candlestick Park?
Muni Diaries Live is our twice-a-year live storytelling event at the Elbo Room. We’ll be back this fall with another great lineup and riotously hilarious Muni stories.
I hope you’re not eating an early lunch.
Our friends over at Capp Street Crap snapped the photo above and asked, “Are those hazmat suits?” Sure looks like it, and rightly so. The doomed sculpture, “Legs,” had hung in the station collecting dirt and other unpleasantries since the 1970s.

No, it’s not Lassie. Doesn’t this Muni passenger look just like Boo, the world’s cutest dog? Sidenote: I heard a story at Porchlight from Boo’s literary agent (that’s right) about the time when she took Boo and Boo’s mom, I mean, owner, to an appearance on Good Morning America. He sounded like quite the charmer.
We’ve got more animals on Muni over here for your Monday morning.
