Well, this was a big week for us here at Muni Diaries. On Monday, we gave birth to our first transit-diaries spawn: BART Diaries. That site works just like this one: Mosey on up to read or write about your favorite (or barfiest) time on BART, and enjoy the show.

The week also saw news of Routesy’s return to app-dom. We were finally able to finish our review of the iPhone app, after we were rudely interrupted by phony money-grubbers. Boo!

Now that it’s come out of forced hibernation and I have a chance to pick this review up where I left off, I have to say — Routesy sure is one slick iPhone app.

Last November, we were surprised and thrilled by a treat that landed in our inbox. It was Shane Papatolicas’s song, “Sometimes on the 38.” We wracked our brains for a way to host and post the song. We did, and for, oh, the next week or so, it was stuck in all our heads.

Well, here we are, nearly at the dog days of 2009, and Clancy Cavnar has sent another musical gem our way. This one is called, “entrar solamente por na porta de enfrente” (translation: only enter through the front doors).

This story came to our inbox from BART rider Nikki.

I am a daily BART rider. Generally my BART rides are uneventful. I have my bart buddy in the morning, usually my iPod and a good book. On the way home it is very much the same, except for last night. I hopped on the Fremont bound train at 5 o’clock on the dot. It was a full train and the only seat available was the handicapped seat next to the door. I sat down and figured if someone who needed it boarded I would move.
