Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Not all Muni drivers are created equally. This we know. And that’s a damn shame. Witness, above, via Muni rider Steve: “Muni driver just handed this to me.”
And here’s what Muni rider sjl has to say: Bus driver just said to the whole bus “Thanks for moving back, you guys are so cute, I have lollipops for everyone if you want!”
Adorable is an understatement.
Now that the Superb Owl is over, it’s time for everyone’s other favorite spectator sport, BART and Muni shaming, for which there is never an offseason.
We have Exhibit A, above, via Muni rider Victoria: “This guy didn’t give up seat for pregnant woman, is talking on phone & has legs wide spread.”
Oh, good. Totally makes up for it if you’re on the phone and man-sitting.
Then, via BART rider and friend extraordinaire Eileen: “I like to call it ‘I’m pretending to sleep so I don’t have to acknowledge the octogenarians in need of a seat swaying to and fro.'”
As much as I love a good game of peek-a-boo, this is neither the time nor the place.
This is not a judgment call. This is not a judgment call. This is not …
It just has that retro vibe, is all.
Via Muni rider James: “Somebody fouled up the N-Judah.”

[Insert snappy commentary about HBO’s Looking here]
No, someone do it, ’cause I’ve got nothing. Thankfully, in perhaps its most San Francisco-est post possible*, BuzzFeed ranked the beards on this HBO show about gay life in the city, and we hear some of those handsome beards are riding Muni. It is obviously my duty as your editor to tune in and spend an exorbitant amount of time on this topic.
#12 features some hot Muni Metro action, guest starring Muni Diaries Live alum and BuzzFeed editor Isaac Fitzgerald. We have enjoyed this beard for years.
#2 is Richie, whose beard is a little patchy for my taste, but check out that strangely pristine transit vehicle. Mee-ow. Oh, A+ on the Giants hat, Richie.
* Despite its criminal use of “the” with Muni.
I suppose there’s no ideal place to drink wine out of a box, is there?
Via moxie_manda: “We saw some people drinking Franzia from the box on the bus. These are the heroes of our generation.”
