The boat is back for Muni Heritage Weekend

Muni heritage is this weekend, when you’ll be able to ride vintage Muni cars including the Boat Tram. On Saturday and Sunday, you can ride vintage streetcars like Streetcar 1, dating back to Muni’s opening day in 1912.

You might also see “Dinky,” or Streetcar 578, built in 1896 in San Francisco and the oldest operating streetcar in the United States.

More from the SFMTA:

Other free vintage vehicle rides departing from the museum include Muni Trolley Coach 776 dating from 1950, and 1975 Muni Trolley Coach 5300 in the classic “Sunset” orange colors created by San Francisco designer Walter Landor. The recently renovated 1956 Mack Motor Coach 2230, 1938 Motor Coach 042 and 1969 Motor Coach 3287 will also be offering free rides.

There’s also a cable car bell ringing demo at noon! Find out more about Muni Heritage Weekend.

It’s all happening this weekend 12-5pm at the San Francisco Railway Museum on 77 Steuart Street (just across from the Ferry Building). If you are lucky enough to get on one of these vintage cars, tag us #munidiaries on Instagram to submit your Muni Heritage Weekend diary!

Weekend Photos: Youth in Revolt


Photo by @holograhamz

This young man has sass by the gallon. I can only imagine what he’s up to. He would make a perfect match in tomorrow night’s “Eggs, Beer, and Bouncy Boxing” at Z Space. Yes, that’s boxing in a bouncy castle. Plus free beer.

Fun thing to do this weekend:
Brokeass Stuart is hosting a night of bouncy castle boxing, free beer and hot dogs, and an “adult Easter egg hunt” tomorrow night. All you have to do is RSVP to get your bouncing boxing and beer-drinking on, hopefully maybe not at the same time.

So, what happened on your commute this week? If you’ve got a story to share, remember that it can end up on a bus ad in our 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories project! So drop us a line and be a part of documenting life in San Francisco.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

The photo below is from Bob at All City, who was inspired to create a word of the day in honor of Muni. Click over to All City to see the word that should really make its way into Webster’s Dictionary. Enjoy these photos and the possibly rainy weekend. And if you find yourself telling a friend, “You won’t believe what happened on Muni today,” send us a snippet of your life on the bus!
