New Flyer E800 5208 & ETI Sakoda Trolleybus 5495

Location: Market Street at Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA
Operator of Vehicle: San Francisco Municipal Railway
Date of Photo: January 9, 2006

If you ignore the fact that neither bus in this photo is still in revenue service, you might think I took this photo in recent days.  A fair amount of digital ink has been devoted ot the fact that Market Street, one of the main thoroughfares in San Francisco, is now only open to public transit vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians.  I took this photo in 2006, long before the “Better Market Street” plan was implemented last week, much less devised.  It just so happens that there was basically no other traffic captured in this photo, but it might be a fascinating project to try recreating the photo with the current rolling stock and reconfigured street the next time I am in San Francisco.
