Angela tweeted this simple…PSA? Truth in graffiti? to @munidiaries.
Our Twitter and the Muni Diaries Facebook are good ways to send us these gems on the go. What do you see on your ride right now?

Over at Muni Time Capsule this morning, we posted a photo of some Muni maps from the decade leading up to the Great Depression. The charm here is anything but depressing.
Have a look — there’s even an instance of “Muny” as an actual acronym!
No. 2 on the 22
From the field, @franoero reports: “Someone pooped their pants on muni.” We’ve all been there … smelling the poop, I mean. Also, open a window already, YOU GUYS!
A Muni Fixer-Upper
Ken snapped these photos and threw them up on Instagram. I bet that thing wouldn’t have any trouble barreling down Judah.
Ye Olde Fast Pass: 1983
Talia posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page! She says it was in a book, as an inadvertent donation to the Friends of the SF Library.
Note: fab color palette, historical reference to the Key System, and, um, $24.
For more historical Muni, head to our Muni Time Capsule. Send us pics of your own transit ephemera if you’ve got any.
