Weekend Photos: Out with the Old

Photo by Dave Schumaker

This week Muni welcomed yet more new turnstiles to mixed reviews, at least in our Twitter world. And lo and behold, someone’s found a loophole to open the gate (see news below). Pretty sure that loophole will be patched up soon. In the mean time, Muni news this week:

• Despite Cost, Clipper Card Promises Convenience (Streetsblog SF)
• MUNI’s New Fare Gates – People Behaving Badly (KRON4 and SFAppeal)
• Uncommon Success for Union Adversary (WSJ on Sean Elsbernd and “Measure to Undo Muni Contract Rules”)
• Cable car improvement project begins (SF Examiner)
• Spot.us pitch: why can’t Muni run on time? (Spot.us)
• Earlier this week: Mini Muni meltdown (SFGate)
• Muni Sickout Was A Big, Fat Bust (SFAppeal)
• Will Muni Paper Pass Vendors Convert to Clipper? (Akit’s Complaint Department)
• Weekend traffic advisory: Chinatown Moon Festival (SFMTA)

We are counting down to the next Muni Diaries Live! spoken party at the Make-Out Room on Friday, Oct. 29! Look out next week for more information about our lineup, and permanent marker this in your calendars. We’d love to see your happy faces!

Enjoy these photos and the weekend fog.
