But otherwise it’s like utilidors under Disney World – often feeling like you’re not actually meant to be there, with the stations, the trains, and the signage being almost… repulsive.pic.twitter.com/dPaRP0lQ2r
…except, that is, for Forest Hill Station. It was built in 1918, and for many decades served regular streetcars that travelled underground. (Eventually, the rest of the metro was built up, and streetcars replaced by light rail.)pic.twitter.com/VoA8uecAY8
It’s the deepest station in the system. Its elevators remind me of London…pic.twitter.com/xRD53WDpA9
…and its stairs of New York.pic.twitter.com/0VL5RRfsSP

Should note that Forest Hill's platform facade were all built along with the rest of the system during that same "bland" era. SF has 12 subway stations, you're leaving out the BART ones. BART built the Muni stations around the same time and have the same 2-pattern styles
No doubt Powell and Montgomery are bland, but imo Embarcadero, Glen Park and West Portal are the cities' jewels of 70's era stations. Forest Hill has a nice outward facade but interior wide the platform used to be really bland until BART remastered it in the 60's.pic.twitter.com/B0DUa1ogMg
I don’t see that much difference between Embarcadero and the others. West Portal doesn’t count as subway to me, and Glen Park is BART – although if there’s one really impressive modern station, indeed, that would be it.
Embarcadero was an infill station opened in 1978, and so unlike every other station which was designed in pairs, it has this weird marble gimmick, white chrome, going on with these circle insignia i love. Shiny glass. Looked futuristic on opening day but the soot dirties the lookpic.twitter.com/AEFKiNaFRs
Wait, what is this thing on the left? Is that still there? I was just there, but half the station was closed off for some reason.
