Muni Rollsigns, Revised
Photo by Flickr user octoferret
We came across this amazing photo by Octoferret on Flickr, who stitched together two Muni roll signs to show the lines and destinations. A little more from Octoferret on how he put this together:
There are 150 readings on the destinations sign and 157 on the lines sign. The destinations sign has the date 2/8/90 printed on it, the lines sign is undated. Both signs came from one of these buses, which were retired from service in 2007.
This image is made from 27 photos of the sign showing the lines and 26 photos of the sign showing the destinations after heavy editing. I had to straighten every single photo, up the contrast, make the colors uniform and then stitch them all together.
Wow. That’s patience.
I spotted some unusual lines on the photo — 18-Geary?
Photo Diary: Young Muni Rider

How can someone so young look so wistful? I hope he’s just lamenting the dearth of chocolate chip cookies at snack time today in kindergarten.

I’ve been staring at this picture for the last 20 minutes now and can’t make out how the young woman ended up in such an odd and surreal way in this photograph. I need more coffee, maybe?
Photo diary: Nike rides Muni’s coattails?
We know, we know: Evil corporation mocks evil public agency. Still, from knee-deep in our love of all things Muni, this shirt breaks our awesome-ometer.
mg7107 says, “my husband got me this shirt.” Now that’s a good man.

Photo diary: Furry little face
Ed at BART Don’t Lie says:
Ok, technically this was taken on Muni, but as I consider it the slightly troubled sister of my beloved BART I’m going to allow it. Besides, lookit that little guy’s furry little face. Adorable. Also, on this same train … a guy threw down his book in disgust and stomped off the train at the next stop. It was some beat up paperback copy of a sci-fi novel… I wonder what pissed him off so much?
Seen something fun, funny, or furry on Muni? Send it our way, please.
