This makes me think of what the Muni board game might look like. Maybe the object is to drive as many buses as you can all at the same time, a feat even SFMTA struggles with at times.

Via our friend at Tenderloin Geographic Society, who says, “it’s a manual for operators…and I’m willing to bet their manuals look a whole lot more clinical than this now. Charming, isn’t it?”

TGS spotted this at the SFPL’s “Cussed and Discussed” exhibit on Muni’s centennial celebration, which ends Thursday.

Hey, a DJ is on BART but everything’s quiet, and why is everyone wearing headphones?
