Even though the SFMTA confirmed that you shouldn’t be cited, it looks like riders are still getting dinged. Here’s her story:

Yet Another Muni Rebranding

worm_redesign

Derek from Network Osaka sent us this well-thought-out collection of new designs for Muni. Derek started with the beloved Muni worm, which apparently lost its holiday weight already, and worked his way through redesigning entire vehicles, uniforms, signs, stations, and even passes.

Take a look at Derek’s Muni redesign page and let us know what you think.
