So, You Think You Can Plank?
Icing is so 2010. The cool kids this year are all about planking. They’re planking on Muni. And they’re planking on Caltrain, as captured by rider and Twitter user Scott Brown (above).
Riders of Muni, BART, and Caltrain, we’re issuing you a challenge: Email us your planking photos to us. We’ll post them next week and crown one lucky transit system the best for planking.
Now, go forth and Plank!
BMW Makes Over BART. No, Seriously.

BMW’s DesignworksUSA announced a contract to design future trains for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), the commuter rail system serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The contract calls for DesignworksUSA to design the exterior, interior, and train operator controls.
The current trains on the BART system, despite their streamlined look, are actually the oldest fleet of commuter rail cars in the country. The rail system uses a broad gauge rather than the standard gauge of most rail in the U.S., so cars must be custom-designed.

Since the project won’t be completed until 2017, I hope there’s time for me to suggest some interior improvements. How about some of that supple buttery leather and titanium trim? But then again, features like “rear seat entertainment” could have a whole different meaning when it comes to BART…

BART Music Diary: Powell Station
We’ve also featured some amazing photos of BART Musicians earlier this year, including my favorite cello quartet, also at the Powell station.
Did a musician perk up your day at a Muni/BART station? Send us some photos, stories, or even better, a video, please!

Holy moly!
My favorite part is on the Dublin/Pleasanton to SF train, where the guy dressing in the back of the train went unnoticed, until …
Fascinating stuff.
