76-Marin Headlands gets made-over
Photo by pmmueller
Have you ever had a reason to take Muni to Marin? We’re not talking a simple crossing of the best bridge in the world* here.
The 76-Marin Headlands was a rarely used, always behind schedule route that ferried humans across the great expanse and deep into the nether regions of the Marin Headlands (thus the route’s designation). Now, SFMTA has thrown this poor route a lifeline, last weekend establishing the spiffy, revamped 76X-Marin Headlands Express. See what they did there with that name?
At the Library Right Now: Old Muni Passes

Think you missed the colorful paper Fast Passes of yore? Wait until you see what Fast Passes looked like before the colorful stripe design. The San Francisco Public Library’s “Cussed and Discussed” show about Muni has some interesting old Fast Passes, including one with a pumpkin cutout, and another appropriate back-to-school theme.
axelfeldheim on Instagram took some photos of these old gems.

As long as we’re on that trip down the time capsule, check out these fancy old Fast Passes from 1976 to 1978 and 1987-1988. Makes you look at your ole Clipper card and sigh, doesn’t it?
What BART Could’ve Been
Via our pal Burrito Justice, Eric Fischer once again dazzles the transit-geek world, this time with amazing old photos of brand-spankin’-new BART stations and the map above, which shows the already nixed Marin line as well as the still-planned-for Geary line that extended to 25th Avenue.
Here’s a great shot of the 24th Street Station plaza back in 1970.
I don’t see a single pigeon. Amazing!
For more great photos from this series, including a shot of a 1972 BART train derailment, check out Eric’s set on Flickr.
