Autocorrect, Muni-style

We’re taking a slight detour from our normal Friday afternoon offering of Five Things on Muni today. You’re just such a clever, creative bunch, we couldn’t resist posting our favorite Halloween costumes as seen the day after.

Enjoy your fellow Muni riders and your weekend!
