Description:San Francisco's Muni transit system of buses and light-rail trains provides fodder for some compelling stories. The often-troubled system is also a plethora of questionable politics. We hope to offer something for everyone, from stories of what happens to people on the bus to the latest behind the scenes at City Hall and elsewhere concerning the agency that runs Muni. Read stories and share yours today!

@ Fitz: ha ha, that must've been Angelie. She's one of the Muni Manners Muni Ladies. They're actually not a rival blog at all, but more of a companion. Like us, they care about a safe, clean, reliable Muni, and they blog about how etiquette fits into the equation. I still haven't seen the Perspectives segment, but I hear a lot about it.

Muni Diaries aims mainly to be a space where riders can share their stories with the rest of the Muni-riding public, as well a place to comment and shrae Muni news.

I am sad to report that today's Perspectives featured a woman from a rival blog, SF Muni Ladies, or something like that. They talk about the high speed rail and offer potential problems that might arise from inconsiderate passengers.

I think, as a rival blog, you guys can offer a rebuttal or something. Eating curry on your SF to LA trip? Share it! Music bleeding from the headphones? Drown that shit out with a boombox!
