Saw this sticker the other day on BART. I like it. Anyone know anything about it? I only found one example on Flickr.
Go ahead and lament your boring blue one now.
Anyway, this special Clipper card is on sale now to commemorate the Golden Gate Bridge’s 75th anniversary year. You can get one at the Golden Gate Customer Service Center in the San Rafael Transit Center, or you can buy one online in the Golden Gate Bridge store for $25. It’s considerably more expensive than the blue ones, but we’re talking about the price of fashion (and local history), folks!
Update: The $25 actually includes $18 of pre-paid transit funds! This is a steal, everyone. Now if only it wasn’t a colossal pain in the ass to trade up.
This Sept. 11 marked 40 years of BART ridership on our beloved BART. Listen to local historian Rick Prelinger tell the story of his BART ride on that very day, in this audio clip from a few years ago.
Happy 40th birthday, BART. The Bay Area would not be the same without you.
Please, for the love of god, don’t tell BART that “40 is the new 30,” because that just makes it angry.
According to Kotaku, he’ll make a poster out of this map if there is enough interest. Sign us up, Dave.
