Muni Media Map Art Show This Saturday

Leave a comment

What are these good people doing, you ask? These are the participants of a Muni prom on the L for a project called Muni Media Map, where artists select a specific Muni line to explore in a medium of his choice. Zoe Burton picked the L line, where riders dressed in their finest prom wear and rode the train together.

From the organizers:

The Muni Media Map is a celebration of that glorious chaos: a collaborative multimedia exhibition organized by Revel Art Collective including 20+ Bay Area participants. Each artist selected a specific Muni line to explore in a medium of their choice, including sculpture, sound, music, mixed media collage, illustration, performance art, video, time lapse photography, interviews, comics, and participatory events. The Muni Media Map displays and integrates these investigations as a giant interpretive map of the city, transforming the gallery itself into an installation.

This Saturday you can see the Muni media map on display as a part of the 100 Days of Spring show.

Details:

Saturday, May 28th
5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Schoolhouse
1592 Market St. at Page and Franklin (map)

Man tries to get a pony on board U.K. train

Sounds like the first line of a joke, but it actually happened.

Amy at Tiny Rides alerts us to the story of a mysterious man who’s been spotted with his white pony in the Wrexham, North Wales, train station. The video above is taken from the security camera at the station. The pair has also been spotted at hospital and pub, to put it Britishly.

We’ve published many posts showing non-human passengers on Muni. But we’ve never seen one you could potentially use as transportation in lieu of the bus.

Maybe the world is ending on Saturday. We so very rarely hear about Muni service expansion, but it’s true, folks.

At an estimated cost of $1.8 million, and with the aim of reducing crowding on one of its busiest routes, the SFMTA will next month begin offering morning and evening weekday express shuttle service from the Outer Sunset to the Financial District along the N-Judah’s path. According to SF Appeal:

Morning peak express buses will make 11 stops between 48th Avenue and 19th Avenue along Judah Street before beelining to Bush and Montgomery streets.

Similarly, evening express service will begin at Sutter and Sansome streets and will run express to 19th Avenue and Judah Street before making 11 local stops.

So, Outer Sunset Muni riders, we wanna know: What you think about this new service? It’s set to begin on June 13. Yea or nay?
