Weekend Photos: Get Low


Photo by Octoferret

What does it take to capture a perfect Muni photo? I wish I were a fly on the wall (or Muni tunnel) when Flickr photog Octoferret took this featured photo above.

If you took some great pictures featuring public transit in the Bay, be sure to let us know via Twitter, Flickr, or good ole email.

Enjoy these photos and your glorious weekend!

Muniformer: More Than Meets the Eye

Well, that’s a new way to think about it.

From xxgabrielamaria on Instagram, we have this work-computer desktop image: an Upper Playground-branded Muniformer. I can definitely see this one beating down some Decipticons. If it shows up to the battle on time and all.

Not unlike the Alien vs. Predator debate (ALIEN), let’s consider whether Muniformer would truimph over the F-Market/Wharves superheroes. Something to ponder ahead of the weekend.

Muni Fashion Trend Alert! Heart Shaped Glasses

When the temperature’s up, you know to look to Muni riders for the latest trends for the season. Our latest trend alert? Heart Shape Glasses. Third photo in the last few weeks now, so that makes it an official trend, right?

Don’t tell Anna Wintour.

Here are the other trendsetters:

By the way, if you want to buy a pair of your own, Urban Outfitters has ’em.

Bay Citizen: Only 60 Percent of Muni Vehicles Run On Time

The Bay Citizen found that only 60 percent of Muni vehicles run on time, which is probably no surprise to riders who take the bus on a regular basis. “On time,” according to the city charter, means a Muni vehicle arrives at a stop no more than one minute early or four minutes late. So which lines are the most/least on time?

Earlier this month, The Bay Citizen found that SFMTA has not been accurately reporting its on-time performance. Today’s interactive chart looks like more data to support the previous report.

According to this report, the top five on-time Muni lines (the 88 being the most on-time):

  1. 88-BART Shuttle
  2. 1AX
  3. 36-Teresita
  4. 31BX
  5. 1BX

And the worst? The least on-time Muni lines (the 76-Marin Headlands being the least on time):

  1. 76-Marin Headlands
  2. L-Taraval
  3. M-Ocean View
  4. KT-Ingleside/Third Street
  5. F-Market Wharves

You can check out how your line performs in an interactive chart on The Bay Citizen’s website.
