Art depicts the future Muni Zombie Apocalypse

zombie_driver

You have opinions about Muni drivers as a group, right? You wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t, I would guess. How are those opinions doing? Really?

Well, local artist Erika Chan sees Muni operators as human beings, and rightly so. They have families, needs, and hopes just like the rest of us. Also just like us, they are prone to the coming Zombie Apocalypse.

Erika depicted such an event in the art you see above. Good on ya, Erika.

You can buy Erika’s rad art at her Etsy store for, like, pretty effin cheap. Do eet!

Muni from Batman’s point of view

Ever wondered what it’s like to fight crime as the caped crusader? Well, then, this is your lucky day.

Several of you spotted Batman riding Muni last summer and shared it here with your fellow Gothamites/San Franciscans.

Then, a few weeks ago, Batman himself wrote us to share what that day was like from behind the mask:

It’s not everyday people see Batman on Muni. This was my second time taking Muni as the Bay Area Hero. The first time I did it was on July 23rd 2014 (Batman’s 75th Anniversary) and someone captured some pictures and they were posted to Muni Diaries. I thought it would be entertaining to capture reactions from my perspective.

Thanks for sharing, Batman!

Reading actual books on public transit

Does anyone remember what those things are? They’re cumbersome and awkward, is all I got.

Photographer Reinier Gerritsen has catalogued NYC Subway passengers holding and consuming those big, bulky things, in a pretty gosh darn beautiful collection called The Last Book. Visit Gerritsen’s site for a look at all the purty pitchers.

Meanwhile, back on the Best Coast, we literary types still read honest-to-God books on our commutes all. the. time. What’s the last book you read or saw someone reading on Muni?
