That time Richard Nixon rode BART
For whatever reason, and despite the choreographed nature of it, we like when celebrities and politicians (same same?) do the things us normal folks do.
Case in point: That one time in 1972 when President Richard Nixon (a former California senator, you’ll remember) rode the spiffy, shiny, new BART. Muni Diaries Live veteran Peter Hartlaub wrote about Nixon’s visit to the Bay Area recently for the SF Chronicle:
Photos and words from The Chronicle archive show the president, often with his eyes wide and mouth agape, in wonder at all the tech surrounding him.
“You know, it does look like NASA,” said Nixon, as he peered at the electrified route displays in the BART control room.
Nixon arrived in the Bay Area with a surprise $38.1 million in bonus funding for BART, then hopped on a train at San Leandro Station, taking a nine-minute trip to Lake Merritt for a tour of the BART control center.
Sleepy Ninja Turtle on Muni
Props to Mom and Dad for dressing up this kid as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and creating the cutest Muni moment this week. Wouldn’t it be great if we could dress in costumes every day? Oh wait, we live in San Francisco, so yes, this is definitely an achievable life goal.
Thanks to @cceres for submitting this Muni moment. Tag #munidiaries on Instagram to submit your own.
