Much like our last show, we packed the Make-Out Room, heard some awesome stories and cheered Muni on with the incomparable Cock-T’s! And you won’t believe who showed up in a vintage transit costume. But you’ll have to read the rest to find out. Read more

1984 Muni Metro Guide

MUNI Metro Guide (1984)

Found this cool picture from Eric Fischer on Flickr. I thought it was neat to see Muni rendered in this kind of art. Here’s what Eric had to say about it:

It comes from a brochure that is basically information on how to ride the Muni Metro system.  It has [this] drawing, plus a map and general Muni and fare information. It must have been something that they used to have a bin of in the stations, like the BART fare and schedule brochures.

I got my copy at Community Thrift, I think.

Thanks, Eric!
