I still think this is a really cool contest.

Congrats to all the finalists, and a big thanks to everyone who submitted their work. Making San Francisco beautiful(er) is no small hill of beans.

It’s easy to forget that BART, that same workhorse train that takes you to your daily grind, can also take you so far away from it; that in the same amount of time as it takes to get to work, you can instead go someplace utterly serene. Enter: Richmond.
Richmond’s dreamy, nearly private waterfront was once one of the country’s most prolific shipyards. Now it has the feel of a sleepy little beach town, the kind that invites you to linger over a glass of rosé and watch sailboats drift out to sea. But that’s not nearly all it has to offer.
The recipe for the perfect daycation is equal parts natural, cultural, and fun. With that in mind, here is your perfect day in Richmond.
Take the Richmond train to Richmond, then board AC Transit bus #74 toward Marina Bay all the way to the end of the line.
I mean, I know it’s been hot and muggy lately. But I ask you in all sincerity precisely W in the actual F is happening here?
Ah, San Francisco.

Can you imagine if the sneaky little bastard actually ran BART? Trains would be all skipping stops, laughing, farting … wait. NM!
