Best Muni Graffiti Ever?

Update: Per @I_R_M_E_: The photo was taken “near Dogpatch off 3rd St way back in 2001. Unfortunately, All the beautiful old Muni cars were cleared and who knows what happened to them. I’ll post more pics soon.” We’ll be sure to post these additional photos when we see them.

Original post: In-service vehicles have a tactical disadvantage versus Muni corpses lying dormant in yards around town. They don’t really just lie there waiting to be beautified via spray paint in the same way.

Still, I’d be stoked to get on board this monster. It could be as late/wreaking of urine/stop-starty as it wanted to be, looking like this.

When’s Maru going to drive Muni?

Images: Maru’s blog

Maru is hugely popular with two-thirds of your editors  — we’re working on the straggling 33.3%. While reviewing the latest from the king of boxes, I saw that today, he’s in transit mode. Per the above picture’s caption:

Maru: Maru Bus departs soon. Please get on in a hurry.

And then:

Driver Maru: Where do you want to go to?

He even asks you where you want to go!

Important questions:

1) When is Maru going to drive my bus? It shouldn’t be a problem if licenses are still optional.

2) Will he get you to work on time? He seems to have one eye on the schedule at all times.

Cats love Muni, by the way:
