Muni graffiti a bygone era?

On the exterior of vehicles, we mean. We know all too well the lovely decorations that adorn many a 14-Mission interior and Muni bus stops. But some of the retired buses, streetcars, and LRVs that have gone to pasture around the city are graced with graffiti that make some of us nostalgic for the street art explosion in the 1970s, especially in New York City.

Here’s a shot of a graffiti’d Muni bus that Virtue n Vice believes is from 2003.

Seen other examples of rad Muni vehicle graffiti around town? Let us know.

The graffiti is not surprising, the old vehicles are kept in out of the way places with little surveillance. One old streetcar had even been set on fire.
