Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Is this Halloween or just another night on Muni? From rider Joey:
Halloween bus ride on Saturday night on the #2 Clement headed downtown. Unfortunately, I was trapped in a seat and unable to get in the shot. That girl in the foreground in the Ewok/Eskimo costume was from Minnesota and told us she had never ridden a bus before.
How much do we love a whole weekend of taking your costumes out for a ride? Be sure to send us your best Halloween photos on Muni!

Others were simply talking about what they saw this morning:
“Living in San Francisco means forgetting it’s Halloween, even when someone on your Muni train is dressed as Chewbacca.” via @VerbalCupcake
“creepy grown man wearing Boy Scout uniform on muni = scariest costume I have seen all weekend BY FAR” via @draut
“Snow White just got on #muni. Should I offer her my seat? She is a princess after all.” via @DAVID_GALEA
If you see more interesting characters, especially if you’re not quite sure whether it’s a costume, send your photos our way. Show and tell!
Yeah, it’s not even Halloween yet. But that didn’t stop Santa from comin’ to town … on BART, natch.

I just got back into the country after being in southeast Asia for two weeks. Totally have that “two left shoes” feeling. But beer and Game 7 of the World Series and Muni Diaries help ease the blow of being back. I missed you guys!
Halloween happens on on Monday this year, which means we get to celebrate all weekend, all the way into the Day of the Dead!
Three fun things to do:
Zombie Dance and Costume Party, at Metronome Dance Collective. You know you’ve always wanted to dance like Michael Jackson, and now you can. Learn Thriller steps with Ricardo and Christina, followed by a Latin ballroom and salsa party. Tonight at 8 p.m., 1830 17th Street at DeHaro. Take the 10, 19, or 22.
Waldo Pub Crawl (via FunCheapSF). Waldos will be everywhere this Saturday, thanks to this flashmob. Get your red and white stripes ready! Check Waldo Pub Crawl Facebook page for details.
All Hallow’s Eve. Goth and industrial music. Pile on the black eyeliner and black nail polish because this is going to be a good one . Sunday at 9 p.m. DNA Lounge, 375 11th St. Take the 9, 12, 27, or 47.
Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

This story was told to me by my friend Nadia.
They couldn’t possibly be talking about us, right?
The next thing we knew, a piece of crumbled up paper flew past our heads in the air and landed right on my lap. I opened it and it said, “Can you please Shut The Fuck Up!”
We were in disbelief, and then another note, pretty much along the same lines as the previous one, shot through the air and landed on our laps.
Well, we went over to ask them if the notes were really necessary, then after a little going back and forth, let’s just say we ended up in different cars.
Flying notes. Being shushed by teenagers. Never a dull day in transit, I guess.
So you think Muni Diaries is just Muni? We have Caltrain and other Bay Area transit stories too! Or you can always follow our proud Twitter spawns, @caltraindiaries, @bartdiaries, and @actransitdiaries to get a dose of daily hilarity on public transit.
