Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Muni rider Ryan spotted the slow-bleed death of a 44-O’Shaughnessy yesterday, and snapped a photo so you could all bear witness. Here’s what Ryan had to say:
The 44 bus had a transmission blow out [Thursday] morning at 7th and Lawton. That is blood red transmission fluid gushing out of the back of the bus
That is sad, is what it is. And awesome at the same time.
Love this bendycam photo by bhautik joshi. Where is it? Let’s play the geo-locator game. Go!
bhautik submitted this photo to our Muni Photos Flickr Pool. Now it’s your turn.

Update (August 4, 7:36 a.m.): Chris Roberts has a nice gallery and story up about the Transbay Terminal over at SF Appeal.
Update (August 3, 12:20 p.m.): California Beat has a great article detailing the history of the terminal, along with more awesome photos.
Original post:
The building will soon be demolished to make room for a high rise and high-speed rail station. In the mean time, you’ve got to check out the photos from the last official tour of the Transbay Terminal.
Check out those antique Corn Flakes, all those goddam payphones, the bar set with Martini glasses and a shaker or two, a drunk tank (no comment), all from the set taken by the talented Telstar Logistics, who also took the photograph above.
I was walking along California on my way to the bank on Friday when I spotted a bunch of tourists getting off of the cable cars. Guess who was waiting for them?
Too bad I had to rush off before the bank closed. The funny thing was that nobody batted an eye. Jack was looking at his phone the whole time…videotaping people’s reaction, perhaps?
Love this. Photo by Justin Beck.

“San Francisco circa 2010” is the photographer’s title for this photograph. Indeedily.
