Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Muni rider Ellen files this important report:
“Two days ago this piece if sidewalk was a bus shelter for the 47/49 stop. Perhaps someone needed for their Burning Man camp?”
Speaking of Muni bus shelters and Burning Man, we wonder what’s up with the bus shelter we gave away in 2010.
Man, there’s just something that I really, really love about this photo. The woman’s face? The tone? Who knows? Who cares? Via @jojosun.
David points us to Designing Chicago: New Tools for Public Transit, a project under way in the Windy City to build an app that finally, once and for all, truly serves the needs of transit users in a big city. He goes on:
Feel that hopefulness? I get where he’s coming from. Nothing against some of the better apps out there. But something like Design Chicago could (should) happen here.
Okay, who’s ready? And who’s leading this thing? Not me. Heh.

Lo and behold, I found another kitty on a backpack: Ginger here was spotted at the 16th and Mission BART station.
Last week, we broke urgent and totally important news of a punk-rock cat on Muni Metro. This appeases your Muni Diaries cat ladies greatly.
You know where to send your transit stories if you’ve found something cute out and about.
