Fail Rail

    Newer Older

    When the train stops working, they should just put this sucker up instead of incessantly repeating "Due to mechanical difficulties..." "There is a disruption..." and so on...

    (Yiying Lu's Fail Whale is one of my favorite illustrations to ever happen to the internet. A big tip of the hat!)

      If/when they switch the PIDs out in the stations with LCD screens, this is exactly what I hope to see on screen whenever a train is delayed.

      can I commission you to do one for SF's Muni system?

      Thanks all :)

      @njudahchronicles.com, I'm sure I could find the time, though I've never ridden Muni, so I won't have as much frustration to fuel me… :)

      Is it all right if I can use this as a background image on my Twitter account? I'll give you full credit.

      Yay! I'm also making it into an LJ icon.

      Yes! Please do on for MUNI. It's so bad that I long for METRO some days.

      This is fantastic.

      So will we start seeing these on t-shirts? hint hint hint...

    13. brian hefele 47 months ago | reply

      Two people explicitly requesting Muni? Okay, I'll find the time for sure. As far as t-shirts, I'll mull over that soon…
