Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
By far the nicest DIY seating we’ve seen on Muni yet.
From rider Heather:
This guy knows how to travel.
We’ve got DIY Muni seating coming out of our ears over here!

@dangrover and @mikez got all Internet-fancy, combining Muni, BART, and Caltrain stop location info with median income numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau. The results are indicative what you’ve probably felt on your commute: San Francisco sure loves to pack its rich people in with its not-so-rich.
The designers surveyed 19 Muni lines. We crunched some numbers from the graphs and found that the 1-California and L-Taraval have some of the biggest income gaps along Muni lines. Read more
A ferret, right?
Says jyhuang via skarecreau on Tumblr:
Someone carried this #creature on the bus, it looked like a guinea pig or hamster but the body length was quite long. #Creepin #pet #rat #weirdthingsyouseeonthebus
In any case, this probable ferret is more gangsta than all y’alls for riding Muni out in the open like this. Aren’t they still illegal in California? They are definitely still adorable in California and on this transit vehicle.
A ferret is new for us, but we’ve had our share of aww-inducing animal moments on Muni. See also: Cat in a bag. Indignant pug. Skippy the service iguana.
Ferret-legging is a thing, BTW, but this isn’t it.

I do often wonder where all those characters from my childhood are. I love how there’s an open seat to his right, but he’s all, “fuck it, i’mma read the paper next to these two dudes.”
Also, I enjoyed watching this. Very Everything Is Terrible.

Muni rider Illi sent us this photo of a man and his (or someone else’s) bra. What could explain this? A souvenir from last night’s date? Whatever happened to notches on the bedpost?
