In September, SFMTA’s Twitter account unveiled the hashtags it would be using to provide real-time updates for followers. Here’s a sample:

#MuniMetro = Muni Metro Subway between Van Ness and Embarcadero stations. We use this designation because delays in this stretch of the subway affect all of the light rail lines: J, K, L, M, N & T.

Historic Streetcar Line:

#fmarket = F Market & Wharves

See the full list of SFMTA hashtags here.

But SFMTA’s hashtags are woefully inadequate to describe the full Muni experience, if you ask us. Read more

Wait a minute: Did my Muni driver just get lost?

It’s either a nightmare or a really memorable ride. Wait, that kinda describes every trip on Muni, eh?

Via Muni rider Ramona says on Facebook:

“Oh great. My bus driver just got list! I Suddenly heard him say, “I missed a turn,” and I looked up and saw we were heading down Lincoln instead of straight through the park! How that happened I’m not sure, and for a moment visions of Speed ran through my brain…”

Turns out this isn’t as rare a bird as you’d imagine. From Muni rider Naaman in March:

And rider Dave in May:

Has your bus driver ever gotten lost? How was that?

Muni Haiku Battle III this Saturday!

The Muni Haiku Battle Arena will be resurrected this Saturday at Muni Diaries Live. Are you ready? In every battle, we pit poet against poet in a 17-syllable face-off. Our reigning champion is writer James Nestor, whose wit and impeccable style have won him two handmade trophies. Above, you’ll see James in a very close battle against sex advice columnist Anna Pulley.

The Muni Haiku Battle is modeled after the dirty haiku battles at Oakland’s Tourettes Without Regrets, the Bay’s must-see spoken-word show hosted by Jamie DeWolf. DeWolf refereed that very first battle at Lit Crawl 2012. For this Saturday, we enlisted audience favorite storyteller Jesse James to take on the challenge of besting our reigning champion. Will Jesse be the one to finally unseat James? Come and find out for yourself.

Advance tickets here.
