Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
And of course Muni is SF magnified times infinity.
That’s perhaps why it was so refreshing and uplifting to learn about Muni operator Tammy. Rider Greg shared his story of Tammy’s last days driving the 33-Stanyan (she now drives the 24-Divisadero) back in May. And oh how it resonated.
Nearly eight months later, it’s still my favorite diary of 2010. What’s yours?
Did you capture a memorable Muni ride on your camera this year?
Kevin came across a couple whose obvious love for their pet chicken inspired him to submit the story. Best of all, Kevin snapped a picture of the chicken’s owner falling asleep cradling his feathery friend.
What’s your most memorable Muni ride this year?
My choice for favorite photo diary of 2010 goes to Jaymi Heimbuch. The original post featuring this photo and one other is here: Screw Monday: Every Day Is Caturday

And without further ado, Tara gets the first editor’s favorite diary: Letter No. 2 From a Muni Operator’s Wife. Here’s what she had to say about this post from May 12:
It’s not all poop stories here on Muni Diaries, nor is it even just a showcase for the silly, weird, and gross that
forcesbrings us together (aww). Sometimes, it serves a purpose beyond entertainment, like opening the lines of communication between the angry public and the drivers we bag on. The post comprised a letter from a Muni driver’s wife and 22 comments back and forth. Sure, comments on contentious issues can trend toward personal and passionate, and we keep a pretty careful eye on it to ensure it doesn’t devolve into YouTube or, ahem, SFGate. Even so, this post provided a perspective we don’t often, if ever, get to see on the site, and I was glad to have it.
Tell us your favorite diary and photo of 2010 in the comments, or share a new tale of life aboard Muni.
Weird, no?
