On the Millbrae BART at 5:35
This looks like something straight outta Muni. So says BART rider Erich:
Good thing I’m Hungry. Eggroll and green beans. Some sort of Chinese.

Everybody! Muni party!

We caught wind of this Thursday’s Muni party aboard the M, and are sad to say we’re all booked up and can’t make it. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Here’s the deets:
Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009
Time: 7:15pm – 9:00pm
Location: 19th & Holloway Muni Stop (M-Line)
Here’s what the organizers have to say:
This is not your regular post work commute. Dress to impress with your Thursday night’s best and let Muni be the party, instead of just letting it take you to one.
Let Muni be the jumping off point for your night. Club/Bar/Lounge Atmosphere+Public Transit = Evening of Epic Proportions
Dress Code: Fancy (nothing but the best for public transit)
Cover: $2, or free with purchase of Fast Pass
No difficult door policy. No fancy expensive drinks with pretentious names (although those are sometimes nice). Bring all your friends. We’ll bring ours. There’s no reason not to be there.
PLUS: Muni Party Official After Party will be held at Otis Lounge featuring our special guest DJ ELiKi spinning the hottest electro.
Otis lounge is located at 25 Maiden Ln. (right off of the Montgomery Station Downtown). This party is brought to you by John & Brianna, CW Lifestyle, and DJ ELiKi. It’s free, it’s fun, so don’t miss out.

If you go, be sure to report back here with stories and photos!
Photo diary: Palm pilot
A tweet from @toddster last night included the above photo and alluded to the following:
Still on BART. This dude stared at his right hand for a good six minutes straight.
All right, folks, let’s hear it: What was the guy looking at/pondering/worrying over? And before you go too far, there’s no hair on that palm (but if you want to Photoshop some in, by all means. And then send that to us, eh?).

This photo, submitted to the Muni Photos Flickr pool by Brian Brooks, just suspended my evening appetite at least a few hours. How about you? Still hungry for lunch?

Weekend Photos: Just in time for rainy season?

Well, well. The weather went and turned November-like on us, didn’t it?
Here’s some happy thoughts to carry into this weekend:
- A press release from MTA informed us of Muni service disruptions this weekend.
- On Wednesday, Muni and SFPD initiated a new sting operation (can we get a better code name than “Operation Safe Muni?) that netted more than 400 citations and a handful of arrests. Feel safer yet?
- And Thursday brought sad news of a fight between a Muni station agent and a minor. Not much is known yet, other than the fact that the agent was arrested. It is unclear how the altercation started, and what the other circumstances were. Yes, an adult fought with a minor. But hold your opinions, please.
- Don’t forget to stop by and tell us how you really feel about Muni fare inspectors.
But on to happier (if wetter times) we go. Here’s a photo that came to us after our Halloween 2009 Muni photo roundup.
About this photo, Lucia has this to say:
Apparently no one who snapped photos of this Muni rolling around Mission, Valencia, and Guerrero between 24th &17th sent them in. We parked it on the plaza in Dolores for a miniMuni dance party. And then I broke my ankle, which is pretty much unrelated, but hence the delay in sending this.
And here are some remarkable photos that showed up in our Muni Photos Flickr group recently.

Photo roundup: Play Dress-Up on BART
BART started our week off with 24 hours of service. Not too shabby a way to start a week on BARTDiaries, I say. This week in BART news:
– S.F. transportation costs lower than other suburbs (via SFGate)
– BART driver accused of lewd act (via NBC and StreetsBlog)
– BART staves off loss of state funds for now (via SFWeekly)
– BART wants to know what you think! Agency surveying riders in effort to retain them (via SFAppeal)
Warm nights this week led to many great dress-up opportunities like the Dia de los Muertos parade, which, by the way, is going to be my favorite event of the year every year now. Enjoy these photos and your weekend. And send more BART stories our way!
