A little Christmas gift for my viewers! We're finally back in the Bay Area this episode; tackling San Francisco's historic and ever-vital Muni Metro system, a hybrid light rail/metro system that does a lot. It runs on the street in mixed traffic, in between road medians, and even underground! Join me in discussing the City by the Bay's transit system that's so uniquely theirs. This is Muni Metro.
