Muni Third Street Line, Day One
Today I took some pictures on the first day of Muni’s new T-Third service. It was a fun trip; I’d never gotten out to that part of town before, and like Mark, I’m also “a bit of a transit nerd.” Highlights after the jump.
There were a lot of Muni workers handing out brochures and answering questions.
Here’s a classy move. The design of the stations is echoed in . . .
. . . the design of the streetlights. Also, each station has a sort of mast with a distinct emblem. Here’s Kirkwood:
here’s Oakdale:
and here’s Arleta:
The neighborhood itself has some nice scenes as well:
Or this view of the bay over the 101:
This might be my favorite picture of the day, though–these kids got on while I was waiting at Arleta, and agreed to let me take their picture:
If you go, consult Muni’s T-Third page for further information. Enjoy!
how can you guys claim to be running a website about SF if you’ve never even been into all of it’s neighborhoods?
you were waiting for a half billion $ train to be built to take you?
That is pretty funny. Some of the cats writing about this line come off as, well…
We should all fear BVHP man!!
“cats”
Are you 70 years old?
Eh, I’m not sure; I could see it being time to bring back “cats.” I knew somebody in college who said she had a lot of friends who were cats, by which she meant jazz musicians.
As for ph33r of BVHP, I live in the Tenderloin. :-)
I think residents of BVHP should fear this new train, as it will surely raise land values and sweep them even further away.
I agree.
