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.

The bears above are a great example. Miley Cyrus lost her dancers, errybody! Below, there’s a bespectacled bunny doctor (?); everyone’s favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett; the world’s creepiest clown; bat-reptile man (?); creepy human-size chicken; and of course, the 30-Stockton and its driver.

Enjoy your fellow Muni riders and your weekend!

A Flower Grows on Muni

Are you a glass-half-empty type? Of course you are. You live in San Francisco. You ride Muni. You have company.

But even for the most cynical among us, this submission from Muni rider D is cute, fluffy, and vaguely hopeful:

“As I was riding home on an outbound 38 Geary yesterday I glanced out the window and spotted this rather unusual ‘tag.'”

Maybe it was fertilized by, well, never mind.

What’s that? You didn’t think Muni could be cute? Like, no way in hell?

Think again, curmudgeon. This Saturday and Sunday mark Muni Heritage Weekend. SFMTA and Market Street Railway will operate vintage buses, a special cable car, and a few old streetcars from 10 a.m. to 5 both days, giving the public a chance to see how far we’ve come from the old days [insert your cynical jokes here].

The old buses will leave from the San Francisco Railway Museum on Steuart Street between Market and Mission streets, near the Ferry Building and Embarcadero.

No matter what your plans are this weekend, you should totally do this.

For more info on the vehicles that will return to operation this weekend, visit Market Street Railway.
