Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
We found Cheap Girl Draws recently, and are kinda totally in love with her sketches, especially the Muni ones. She’s got more, better-quality scans coming your way soon. For now, chew on this one for a bit.
We’ve also featured some amazing photos of BART Musicians earlier this year, including my favorite cello quartet, also at the Powell station.
Did a musician perk up your day at a Muni/BART station? Send us some photos, stories, or even better, a video, please!

Jeff (not me) has got a doozy …
Then one day about 2 p.m. on my way to work, I’m heading down the stairs and this dude is walking to go up the escalator and talking on a cell phone. With his other hand, he starts grabbing at his crotch — which catches my attention.
He then pulls out his schlong, looks at me straight in the eye as we pass by each other. I look back and as he heads up the escalator, he starts pissing while talking on the phone. And there’s a lady about 10 feet ahead of him.
Just another Tuesday. I now know why the place smelled like a sewer.
Well, that explains that. Thanks for sharing, Jeff (not me)!

Specifically, this song, “Rendezvous on the 22,” is about how the lead singer met his girlfriend on the 22. We love stories of love at first sight aboard Muni, we do. Put to song, even better.
A tease:
“i walk block by block
walking is no longer a thought
whoa whoa whoa
if i make it there some way
a lousy no good fare i paid”
Lyrics by C. Wu.
You know this lot. It’s got that nifty web of electrical lines running above its sleeping coaches. Heather and Ed took some Muni-themed wedding photos there, as we posted about earlier this year. And then there’s all the other stuff you haven’t told us (now’s your chance!).
So, kudos, Retro Bus. If you’ve got other transit ephemera, share it with the Muni Time Capsule.
