Muni Bus Shelter Graffiti: A New Food Group?
Not sure any reputable dietitian would agree with the sentiment. What do you think?
Also, too, “nutriton.”

Will a Car-Free Market St. Make Muni More than Mediocre?

Can it be?
Whenever it happens — and we’re crossing our fingers that it does — will this make our Market Street Muni run more efficiently? Perhaps there will still be late starts, downed power lines, and pedestrians/bicyclists/transit vehicles moving out of turn. But private cars sharing lanes with transit vehicles is a major piece of the puzzle, from where I stand (and sit, crawling on Van Ness heading home or Market Street on the way to work).
Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think.
Photo Diary: Riding Muni Toasted
File this under “Strange Muni Cargo,” along with a bar chair, Christmas tree, and a balloon circus. No biggie.
What other strange cargo have you seen on the bus? We can’t get enough of them!
Muni Bus for Sale
We’ve told you about New Look buses on Muni Time Capsule before. Check out that post if you’re thinking about making a bid.
This isn’t the first bus on sale — the guys at SFist spotted another bus for sale last year. We’ve also seen a Muni fare box for sale on Craigslist. If you’re the one who bought that fare box, why not buy a bus to keep it company? Or maybe this is perfect for the kind of person who’d buy a Muni shelter?
We’ll do our best to keep up with the auction and get in touch with the winning bidder.

What do YOU think of your Muni line? Write your wittiest, most entertaining review of a Muni line on the Muni Google Places page. We have five prizes to give out to the funniest reviews, like this one that we just saw on the Muni Google Places page:
“The 27-Bryant is an amazemagasmic 5-star experience. For a paltry $2 cover charge you get non-stop entertainment for your many-stop trip from the TL crazies to the outer Mission crazies. Live poultry? Done! Mysterious smells and ownerless toddlers? Done! Ranting dude in a wheelchair going only 2 stops and then after deboarding gets up and walks around thanks to the MIRACLE OF MUNI? Done! Muni needs to have a full bar in the back of every bus, and then I’ll never leave.”
Ah, the miracle of Muni. You heard it here first.
Use the hashtag #munidiaries to let us know you want your review considered for the contest.
