Rad artist and all-around-good-guy Josh Ellingson was recently contracted to do new illustrations that will be featured inside BART trains.

“The campaign is called “Thank You BART Riders,” and it spotlights a different station and highlights its uniqueness in the system. If you’re in the Bay Area, you should start seeing these aboard the trains sometime in early Spring.”

In 2010, Josh’s illustrations showed up in BART stations as part of the “First Ride” series.

See the other illustrations in the new series over at Josh’s website. And follow Josh on Facebook and Twitter.

Some days, it’s hard enough just to get to work on time wearing clean clothes. Apparently well aware of that reality, two priests from a Burlingame church were on hand at the Millbrae BART station this morning dispensing “ashes to go” to commuters for the first day of Lent. Pretty clever, we think.

Wait, they’re not asking believers to give up BART, are they? no. can. do.

Muni Metro lights can be pretty bright, it’s true. Well, that plus the fact that this adorable pup is clearly undercover. You go, Doggie McDoggerson.

Muni rider Kaylee spotted the clandestine canine: “Qt on the muni.” Indeed.

A new mural is in progress on 18th Street at Mission, and your beloved $2.25 daily chariot is featured front and center! In this photo by @milesgallery on Instagram (taken yesterday), George is busying painting a Muni bus as part of the mural next to City Smoke.

Lots of street art in the city features the bus, like this one on Balmy Alley and this one on 21st Street and Mission. If you pass by George’s work this week, don’t forget to take a photo and tag us on Instagram.
