Unconventional Muni Shelters
On Flickr, Eric Fischer spotted this backwards shelter:
I believe these are facing backwards to allow handicap access because the width of the street is too narrow for the shelter to face out.
Spot any other funky bus shelters?
There’s an old-style shelter at Woodside and Hernandez that has a little bench in it instead of the regular seats.
And there’s two unique, modern looking shelters, one is in front of the DeYoung Museum, and the other is at 3rd Street and Palou.
There also used to be a weird brick shelter at Euclid and Collins. It got taken out a few years after the 2 Clement got rerouted off of Euclid.
Awesome. I’d love to see photos of them, if not in person.
I added photos of those and a few others to the Muni Photos group on Flickr.
I don’t have any photos of the two modern looking ones, but here they are courtesy of Google:

I’ve always wondered what the story was with the backwards shelters, but that makes sense, Jeff. I always just thought the installers were idiots who didn’t notice they’d installed them wrong…
I did a post on the different types of Muni shelters on my blog back in December…I found only three, but there are more… http://sftoastedblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/on-third-day-of-christmas-my-city-give.html
Does anyone have a pic of the one that was at the Cable Car Turnaround at Bay and Taylor? That got taken down recently.
Oh! There’s one at Fort Mason, Macarthur and Franklin, and another one at Junipero Serra and Ocean.
