DESCRIPTION:The Green Arcade (we're back! - sort of) and Ithuriel’s Spear present\nA 
 Launch Party for the new book Muni Is My Ride: Portraits of Muni in Words 
 and Images.\n\nThis unique new book features colored pencil portraits of 
 Muni operators, drawings of bus passengers, and B&W line drawings of bus 
 stops by San Francisco artist Keith Ferris, accompanied by writer Lia 
 Smith's in-depth interviews of Muni operators, who detail their day-to-day 
 realities transporting passengers throughout the City and explain what drew 
 them to the profession.\n\n“The personal narratives of Muni operators 
 provide important insights into the complexity of transit labor 
 politics—often overlooked in sustainable transportation debates. We learn 
 that many operators support transit first policies, and that many operators 
 desire to live in the city that they serve, but cannot, due to the high 
 cost of housing. Before the next budget cycle and transit plan is crafted, 
 this book should be required reading at City Hall.\n\n—Jason Henderson, 
 Professor of Geography and Environment at San Francisco State University 
 and author of Street Fight: The Politics of Mobility in San 
 Francisco\n\n“If there’s anything we’ve learned about life on Muni, 
 it’s that the interesting stuff happens along the journey, not at the 
 destination. From the nuances of operating a bus on city streets to the 
 small details of our rides and fellow riders, Keith Ferris and Lia Smith 
 have captured the urban humanity within each Muni experience that knits us 
 together.”\n—Eugenia Chien and Tara Ramroop, Muni Diaries 
 co-founders\n\nBooks will be available for sale at the launch and soon at 
 select SF book stores, or you can order them from The Green Arcade's online 
 store at: https://thegreenarcade.com/\n\nThis free event begins at 5:30pm 
 and doors open at 5:00pm.\n\n\n
