Take a closer look: can you tell where these Muni photos were taken? I love the different ways that photographers see our city through their lenses. And if the photos happen to star our favorite subject? Even better.

We’re less than a week away from our second live show of the year, where you can hear true and hilarious Muni stories on stage. We’re always amazed and honored to see so many of you at our shows, but we know that occasionally the shows can become as crowded as a 38-L in the morning. So this time we’re aiming to do a lot better in terms of crowd control — we’re getting more chairs and staffing the door better so you have more breathing room to hear funny transit tales and share a drink or three with your friends and fellow riders.

Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours. We can’t wait to see you!

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Can We Design the San Francisco Public Transit App?

6 comments

David points us to Designing Chicago: New Tools for Public Transit, a project under way in the Windy City to build an app that finally, once and for all, truly serves the needs of transit users in a big city. He goes on:

Cool crowd funded, crowd sourced public transit app for CTA in Chicago. You would think that with all the social app startups in SF, someone would try to do something like this. Maybe it’s because they’re all too busy riding around in private shuttle busses to realize how shitty Muni is.

Feel that hopefulness? I get where he’s coming from. Nothing against some of the better apps out there. But something like Design Chicago could (should) happen here.

Okay, who’s ready? And who’s leading this thing? Not me. Heh.
