Muni Diaries

If you didn’t get to catch a glimpse of the Transbay Terminal tour before it closed, contributor Whole Wheat Toast at The Toasted Blog shot some great pictures and documented the last run at the terminal:

Last hurrah for the Transbay Terminal. But there weren’t people that were going to let this go away without a night of shooting (pictures) and at one point a group of rollerbladers came in and blasted Billie Jean. Not only that, Muni brought in one of their old Fishbowls (aka Jimmies) for all to see, so, yeah, if you didn’t come, you missed out. Wonder why AC Transit didn’t bring in one of their old vehicles…

Check out more pictures from the last run at The Toasted Blog.
