Transit Art: Can You Spot BART?

April 19, 2012 eugenia One comment

Can you spot pieces of Bay Area transit in this piece of mixed media art by reader Tofu St. John? You might remember him from “Project Art a Day.” His newest piece incorporates pieces of transit ephemera from public transportation systems across the country.

Here’s what he has to say about the new piece (available at Society6):

I love public transportation. When I travel to different cities I always seek out the adventure of public transportation. There is something magical about emerging from a subway station in a strange city for the first time. This new piece is made up of public transportation maps from around the world. From the San Francisco Bay Area’s Muni, AC Transit and BART to DC’s Metro, to London’s Underground and many more.

How do other artists incorporate public transit into their work? Check out our Muni Art Pinterest Board!

NYC Subway-Riding Goat Steals the Show

You have go(a)t to be kidding me.

Appropriately, our friends at Tiny Rides sent us this New York City Subway-riding goat, Cocoa. Cocoa (!) loves people, and she can’t sleep at night unless owner and Joisey resident Cyrus Fakroddin is in eyeshot. In a Reuters photo shoot by Allison Joyce, Cocoa is doing everything from hanging in Central Park to catching the C train from Columbus Circle. What a polite-seeming passenger, no? Check out Cocoa’s adventures on Buzzfeed.

Muni has its share of cute animals on the bus, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen a goat. Unless you have? Send us any and all cute Muni cargo today.

In the words of Haley, “Holy shit…. I found The Dude.” Let’s hope the Nihilists didn’t find him. Or, you know, pee on the rug.
