Sunday was the day. BART was the venue. Pants were nowhere to be found. We just added more pictures from photographers Marco Sanchez and Der Dunn.

The No Pants Subway Ride 2011 seems to have gone off without a hitch (or an inseam).

If you have photos of the No Pants ride, share them on Muni Diaries. More photos by Bhautik Joshi. And here are No Pants rides of past years: 2010 2009

Like this post (or hate pants)? We added a Facebook Like button at the bottom of our posts so you can tell your friends about it.

World Series Undoes Normal BART Boredom

Leave a comment

Jenny is a fan of the Giants and public transportation.

BART is boring. I used to live in San Francisco and loved riding Muni. There’s just general coolness going on around you at all times. Plus, you’re above ground so you get to take in the sites.

BART is another story. People are expressionless and generally in a sour mood. And you’re below ground so you see squat for scenery.

But the World Series changed that normal dourness on BART on Thursday night. On my ride to the city, the BART conductor announced the score mid-game. Post-game, on my ride home to the East Bay, people were talking to one another for once. There were cheers and smiles all around. People even gave up their seats for once.

That night was almost as good as Obama winning 2008 elections. Almost.

Go, Giants!

Last week we found some killer art showing up at BART stations as part of a “First Ride” campaign for kids. Cool stuff.

The artist himself tweeted us to tip us off to some of his process drawings.

Josh Ellingson saw our post Friday about his new art at various BART stations, and tipped us off to more. Here’s a Flickr set that includes the images again, as well as process drawings he used to create them, and some of the signs iterated in BART stations.

Thanks, Josh!
