Eugenia Chien has been eavesdropping on the 47, 49, or 1 lines since the mid-90's. She lives by the adage, "Anything can happen on Muni" (and also, "That's not water.")

Time Lapse Video: One Day In San Francisco’s Public Transit

We love transit geeks, especially ones who are handy with time-lapse videos. Via SFist, we found YouTube user STLTransit, who created time-lapse videos of public transit systems, including one of San Francisco that shows the movement of every Muni bus, BART train, and ferry boat over a period of 24 hours.

I just can’t stop watching the littler dots of buses buzzing by, and the color-coordinated dots for BART lines whizzing through the East Bay.

Must. Click. Play. Again.

Thanks, SFist.

This Friday: Muni Photography Opening Party!

Come party with us this Friday to celebrate the amazing photographers you’ve seen on Muni Diaries! We’ve partnered up with the wonderful Harvey Milk Photo Center for a photo exhibit called “In Transit.”

In celebration of Muni’s centennial, this exhibit will feature gorgeous San Francisco photos that you’ve previously probably only seen on your computer screen. The opening reception this Friday will also feature our new “Rename Your Muni Line” game where you can bestow a new nickname for your line (6-Parnasty, anybody?) on a humongous map, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey style (no blindfolds, unless you’re so inclined).

The Harvey Milk Photo Center is at the west end of Duboce Park, and a great place for photography-lovers. Hello, 40-person dark room? They have it.

See you this Friday!
