Puppet show on the platform!
Posted April 2, 2013
Update:
Did you see Nick the puppeteer’s profile on SFGate and Mission Local? Cool stuff!
Original post:
Muni rider D felt compelled to share something underground: The Flat Broke Puppet Co.’s puppet show.
Here’s what D had to say: “Ok so maybe it wasn’t really *on* the platform per se but it was a nice surprise as I exited the Powell St. Station.”
No matter. Puppets, wolfie smooches, what more can you ask for in a commute?

A new look for Embarcadero, Montgomery BART stations?
Posted February 11, 2013

Holy transit geekery! BART folks are floating a rather expensive, rather … laborious upgrade for San Francicso’s Embarcadero and Montgomery BART stations.
According to Matier and Ross:
The rebuilding of the Embarcadero and Montgomery Street stations would require tearing out the existing walls, installing new platforms, boring additional tunnels for staircases, and putting in extra elevators.
For added safety, the new platforms would have automated sliding glass doors that would open when the trains arrive.
The whole job could take more than five years, but the stations would remain open during that time.
The price tag currently sits at $900 million, and work wouldn’t begin until the next decade.
Get all the juicy details at SFGate.

Self-centered wellness before communal kindness on BART
Posted January 24, 2013
I have no words for this level of assholery, so I’ll just let @Krothko speak for us all: “I’m sorry, you can’t have a seat on a packed train because I’m busy doing yoga.”
