Tweaking the Muni Worm

San Francisco

Wait a minute, did SFMTA redesign the venerable Muni logo?

Nah, this is the work of Jeremiah, who used a little creative license and photoshop to spice up his photo of the side of a bus.

The Muni logo was originally designed by San Francisco-based graphic designer Walter Landor in the 1970s and adorns everything from old fast passes, a transit-inspired Nike shirt, feminist head gear, to a neck tattoo.

Where else have you spotted the worm?

Happy July 4, the bus says.
Three more things to do this weekend:

  • Prince versus Michael Jackson at Madrone (Muni 21, 24, 5, 6, 71, 22).
  • Streets of San Francisco photo show at Schroeder’s (1, 41, F, J,K, L, M, T, N).
  • Monday – fireworks along Pier 39!

  • Remember that Muni is on a Sunday schedule this Monday. If you’re along the Pier 39 area, check out reroutes and extra service for the fireworks celebration.

    Enjoy these photos and your long weekend.

    To Muni, with Love, from Croatia

    Melita visited San Francisco for the second time last week from Croatia and sent us some photos she took of the F train. Looking at our transit system from a fresh, visitor’s point of view, she told us a little about the differences between public transit in Zagreb and San Francisco.

    Visiting San Francisco again was great. On my first day in San Francisco two years ago I fell in love with the city and was very happy to get a chance to visit it one more time. We took long walks and used public transit (Muni/Bart/Caltrain) as we are (like most Europeans) used to public transit.

    A few things that I like about Muni: it’s affordable, you can take your bike with you on Muni which is not possible to do on Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) public transit, more seats reserved for seniors and persons with disabilities, people are mostly very polite and are not pushing around the entrance to get on Muni.

    One more thing that I find very amusing is pulling the string when you want to get off the bus.

    Things you can do on Zagreb public transit (except trains): buy your ticket by sending SMS from your cell phone.

    Wow, I’d like to buy my Muni tickets from my cell phone. Pretty cool. Wonder what transit in Zagreb looks like?

    Trippy.

    Thanks, Melita!

    How does Muni compare to public transit in other countries? The comments section is wide open…
