Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
To state the obvious: If only we had some next-level version of live music riding around on our public transportation. Wow.
The band is Atomic Tom. The vehicle is NYC Subway. And no, you don’t need no stinkin’ 3G signal to make those sounds …
Thx: @recraps

The last time we asked you the same question in March last year, you told us that on-time performance, more frequent services, and a fix for backdoor boarding were on the top of your list. This time around, do you have new wishes or solutions that you think should be considered?
For me, after my recent trip to Rome, on the top of my wish list is increased frequency for buses and trains. In my version of nirvana, the funding/operation for that would come from a combination of state and federal funding. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
So, tell us, what would you wish for if a genie popped out of a bottle you found on Muni?

We’ve decided to join the rest of the entire freaking internet and add a new feature, which should be familiar to you by now: The ability to “like” posts and comments on Muni Diaries.
If you’re the type that can’t be bothered to comment on a post, yet you read something that someone else said that you a) agree with, or b) think is funny, you can let us all know, anonymously, by clicking the little red “+1” at the bottom of that comment. Same goes for sharing your feelings about a post on MD: There’s now a red heart along with “I like this post” near the bottom of every post.
We decided against a voting-down mechanism. You guys can be nasty to each other on the bus or someplace else. Here on Muni Diaries, we encourage … encouragement.
So have fun with these new features, and keep sending us all that amazing Muni content!
You can read details about the rail replacement on Streetsblog, reported by Matthew Roth.

Here’s to say: Thank you all for either cheering the team on, or for putting up with/incessantly bitching about the delays and crowded N-Judah and T-Third trains around AT&T Park all season. The Giants advanced to the next round of playoffs by beating the Atlanta Braves last night 3-2.
Delays and bitching will resume next Tuesday (most likely in the evening at the perfectly jack-ass time of 1:19 p.m., according the Giants Twitter feed).
