By now, surely you know that the transit system you love to hate and hate to love is turning 100 this year. Dec. 28, 2012, to be exact.

To honor 100 years of service (and periodic dysfunction), SFMTA is offering free rides to everyone on Dec. 28 this year. This includes all modes of Muni: buses, Muni Metro trains, cable cars, and F-Market streetcars.

We request no complaints about Muni on that day. Or not.

Mark your calendars, y’alls!

Via SF Appeal.

The good folks at the SFMTA Photo Archive are still busy opening up the vaults. To honor Muni’s centennial, the archives have made available 57 posters with amazing historic photos. Check them out here.

Just to whet your appetite, the caption on the photo above reads: “Trolley Coaches Outside of Seals Baseball Stadium at 16th & Bryant Sts; SF Giants vs. Philadelphia | April 29, 1958”

Jaw, drop.
