Talia posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page! She says it was in a book, as an inadvertent donation to the Friends of the SF Library.
Note: fab color palette, historical reference to the Key System, and, um, $24.
For more historical Muni, head to our Muni Time Capsule. Send us pics of your own transit ephemera if you’ve got any.

The proposal was approved by the SFMTA board a few years ago, but opposition from then-Mayor Newsom pushed the idea off the table. Now it’s seeing a second life.

Lots more info over on Streetsblog’s post. Check it out.

This night train looks so cozy, it can take me anywhere any time. I bet it smells like cupcake inside. While Tumblr-diving, I found Nidhi Chanani (@nidhiart), a freelance artist and designer who created this charming image of the N-Judah.
She also has a cute Etsy shop where you can check out original wood burnings and prints like this lovely Cable Car print.
Did public transportation work its way into your art? We want to see.
