Tell SFMTA What You Think About New Metro Signs

The SFMTA is changing the signs in Muni Metro stations so that they are larger, full color, and provide more information. And the agency wants to know what you think. The image above from the SFMTA is for train arrival information, and there are three more signs seeking your commentary.

For reference, this is what the current sign looks like.

What do you think of these new sign designs? Here are the rest of the proposed signs. Read more

At least the wheels didn’t come off?

Hey, Muni, you got something, uh, hanging off … right there. No, to the left. No, a little more to the right. There it is.

Camera-ready Christopher sent us this dispatch of a one-car (minus one door) N-Judah:

…some photos of the door that went flying off mid-route that caused yesterdays inbound delay. After they kicked everyone off at Van Ness station, the train then slowly creeped back through the station with the door having been pulled off and sitting in the middle of the carriage. I wish I had gotten a photo of that!

Don’t sell yourself short, Christopher. This is very Hulk Smash to me.

How on earth does this happen?
