Six Hours on the 49
J.J. Barrow is a transportation reporter for MissionLoc@l and spent six hours on the 49-Van Ness. Here’s a photo essay of some of the pictures J.J. captured on the ride.

6 hours? He didn’t even bother to ride it the whole route?
Hi Brandon, six hours was actually the whole route — if by route you mean bus driver’s shift. It was a part-time driver. I’d spent the morning on the 27 Bryant and, after the 49 driver was done with his six-hour shift that night, I hopped on the replacement 49, as well. But my assignment was to cover one shift, and I did.
I was being sarcastic, implying that the bus doesnt make it along its whole route in 6 hours 😛
amazing fucking idea. I want to do a photo story on the 27..since it’s right outside my house.
OMG, please do. And Muni Diaries is your channel to broadcast 😉
I didn’t know these reporters existed… One time I was on the 38 or 49 maybe, and this guy whipped out his camera and propped it up on his books and clicked it thinking I wasn’t aware that he was taking a picture of me -_- That freaked me out for a while
