Looks like he’s headed the wrong way down a one-way. Tee hee.

Polite, Proud Balloon Creature on Muni Metro
*whispers intently*
Behold: a purple balloon monster in its natural habitat: among Uggs and vaguely interested Metro passengers.
As spotted by stuffjosefinawrites on Tumblr, this unique balloon creature joins an esteemed cadre of balloon animals on Muni, usually much more buttoned up and tethered than our wily friend here. Muni Diaries editor Eugenia says she spotted it as part of the Pride parade; like a good reveler, it responsibly took public transit home and kept its hands to itself. Kind of.
Send us your photos of interesting creatures on Muni today.
When the Lights … Go Out … in Muni

That moment when the Muni train goes dark and quiet for a few seconds. It always feels strangely calming.

Yep. Strange, but nice.
*Sorry about that title up there. Couldn’t help myself. Heh.
Muni Adbusters Redux: Gap Is Lucky No. 7
Just when we thought it was safe to, once again, be bored silly by bus ads, the Muni adbusters have returned. I think this is the seventh installment.
Rider Jeff sent us the pic, saying he saw this Gap spoof on a 1-California on Monday. How many of Jeff’s fellow riders just left Gap with bags of new underwear, we wonder?
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, these so-called Muni adbusters were spoofing popular ads and local businesses back in May. The effort has been lambasted by some for its 12-year-old-boy humor, but with faux brand names like Cum Tums and Fartine, I have no idea why. None at all.
‘Interesting Setup’ on Muni
Matt Reed has this to say about the photo above: “Dude on the bus has an interesting setup.” I couldn’t agree more. Pirate Vertical Solitaire, FTW.
