1984 Muni Metro Guide

October 21, 2009 eugenia 4 comments

Found this cool picture from Eric Fischer on Flickr. I thought it was neat to see Muni rendered in this kind of art. Here’s what Eric had to say about it:

It comes from a brochure that is basically information on how to ride the Muni Metro system. It has [this] drawing, plus a map and general Muni and fare information. It must have been something that they used to have a bin of in the stations, like the BART fare and schedule brochures.

I got my copy at Community Thrift, I think.

Thanks, Eric!

Oops, Missed the Turn There

We found this picture on Twitter via @boyinsf, posted Oct. 17. Whoa there, Mr. Bus.

SF Appeal has some video of this bizarre situation, along with no explanation from Muni as to how it happened.

Did anyone else see this? Can anyone explain this? The truth, as always, is subjective …

Muni, Also a Fun Place to Be

Julie over at Caliber took this photo on the 49. The kids, gleefully playing a handheld game, didn’t seem to notice her taking the picture. After a few weeks of drama and violence on Muni, I was so thankful to get this picture from Julie. Sometimes — a lot of times — little charming things like this happen on the bus and around the city and make living here all worthwhile again.

Caliber, by the way, is a new, amazing photography website by Bay Area photographers Stuart Dixon, Brad Evans, Troy Holden (formerly Plug1), and Julie Michelle. Check ’em out if you haven’t already!

The rain storm gave us a good smackdown this week. Elsewhere in transit news:

– Translink for cops and fixing cameras are parts of the plan to protect Muni riders (via SFAppeal)

– New aqua addition to the F-line (via Market Street Railway Blog)

– Sacto transit agency to try “Ride to Abide,” banning misbehaving passengers on their transit. Good idea for Muni? (via Streetsblog)

– Muni delays caused by problems with central control (via SF Examiner)

Have a great weekend and enjoy these great photos below, everybody. And if you make it to the Trolley Dance, make sure to send us a picture or a report!
