Fine Day for a Stroll on Muni
This may be the most dapper gentleman (or gentle lady) you ever find on the bus.
Look Closer: New York Transit Art
As the name suggest, metro card collages are made from cut up pieces of used and expired MetroCards® – New York City subway tickets. All artworks are one-of-a-kind and vary in size from 5″x7″ to 40″x30″. Nina Boesch uses the front of MetroCards® for color collages (yellow, orange, blue and black), and the back for grayscale collages (black and white). The collages depict anything from landmarks and objects to portraits and typography, and are almost always New York related.
You can see the rest of her pieces on her website, Metro Card Yourself. Nina’s collages are exhibited at The Bean in the East Village, New York, until the end of July.
Thanks to local transit card artist Tofu St. John for the tip!

Up top, well, I’m no fan of wicker, but I suppose some people find comfort in this “rigid material.”
Below, yeah, that’s more my style. This one was delivered to us via @ohshititsjake.

Where the Morning Muni Hotties Are

Morning on the 1BX: the stuff daydreams are made of. Creative daydreams, at that.
So many hot guys on the 1BX to FiDi, it's hard to concentrate on going to work. Let's hold hands and skip! #munidiaries

I demand a citywide “Skip with Hotties Day.”
