This might surprise some of you, but BART didn’t simply appear out of thin air. It took decades of planning and whole lot of construction all over the Bay Area.
The video above captures a lot of that construction. Like, a lot of it.

There are hella threads in the fabric of Muni. This week, we chose those that speak the truth. They run the gamut, indeed.
This edition of Things on Muni is brought to you by fellow Muni riders @sheurich, @imAnnieB, @shazamethyst, @mythopoeists, and @simONErrr. Do your civic duty and share with Muni Diaries on Twitter.

As with most news programs, there’s some good and some bad here.
We’ve come across our fair share of people who totally adore all things Muni over the years. We’re basically no longer surprised to see such folks expressing that emotion in real-world things like a lamp made of Muni Fast Passes. Just another notch in the San Francisco Is Awesome and Muni Is a Big Part of That belt. And that’s a mighty big belt.
Other expressions of Muni love we’ve seen include a Muni rug, Muni transfer art, a Fast Pass sofa pillow, and of course, no San Francisco home would be complete without a Muni toilet seat.
You guys are the best. You knew that, right?

What else is a wig gonna do, right? Though I can’t help but think of the cold, bald head it must’ve left behind. Bad wig! Bad!
