Muni Diaries

We're bringing you a blast from the recent past from the stage of Muni Diaries Live in 2019. Storyteller Chris Arvin is a product designer who is passionate about cities and public transit. You might know Chris from the the adorable pins, stickers, Clipper card covers that they’ve designed at their store called Transit.supply. But what you might not know is that Chris is also a big part of what made Boat Tram - that famous open top tram on Market Street - such a part of San Francisco culture.

Chris shares how the life of Boat Boi started on Twitter, and you can follow Chris on Twitter @chrisarvinsf and Boat Tram @boattramsf for the latest going-on's of this beloved SF icon.
