Sure, there are some nice moments, like the (recent) rainbow escalators in the Castro district, bold colours, or incidental art.pic.twitter.com/U7tfeJrl0J

In a perfect world, there would be tons of tiny subway stations under San Francisco, serving us all. In that world, Forest Hill would not be distinctive enough to become a Designated Landmark.pic.twitter.com/ypGx5CC7Iv
In the actual world, we only have eight sad Muni Metro stations that are unremarkable in all the wrong ways. And so, sometimes, I travel to Forest Hill, and imagine what could’ve been.pic.twitter.com/kjRzanxGwC

(And note that San Francisco also has a parallel subway called BART with a few more stations that are actually *almost* brutalist-impressive – but BART covers the entire region, all started in the 1970s as well, and is kind of a whole different story.)
(Also, I got shouted at via the P.A. system for taking photos of Montgomery Station today… but the disembodied angry voice referred to me as “a young man,” so it actually made me feel better.)
Vintage streetcars are all street level boarding and I'm not quite sure their widths are compatible with the subway clearances. Or if their single pantographs work with the wiring. Would love to see them in more parts of the city, though.
I believe streetcars all used to run in these tunnels, but yeah, the platforms at Forest Hill have been raised for LRVs.
