Muni Gone WILD | Every ride is a trip

Though cable cars are usually preferred by tourists, they are the jewels of MUNI. This nice lady to your left is Francesca Cresci, of 36-24-36 proportions, was crowned Miss Cable Car of 1972. What a stunna! The crowning of the lady was coincidental with the Bell-Ringing Contest, which still runs today, every July in Union Square. The current champion is Leonard Oats, a 7-year gripman.

The Bell-Ringing contest is actually a musical event, and while Mr. Oat’s sample is not available, you can hear 2003 champion Walter Scott III’s work here:http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/archive/ringers/03/BellRingers2003-002.wav
