San Francisco’s public transit is about to get way more psychedelic, and we’re here for it.

Muni has just unleashed some seriously trippy buses that’ll make your commute feel like a cosmic journey through the Haight-Ashbury’s most legendary musical era. Mayor Daniel Lurie and the SFMTA are rolling out Grateful Dead-themed transit vehicles that’ll transform the 7-Haight/Noriega, 5-Fulton, and N-Judah lines into literal time machines celebrating the band’s 60th anniversary.

Tie-Dye Transit Dreams

These aren’t just your average buses – we’re talking full-on psychedelic exterior wraps that look like they’ve been pulled straight from a 1960s acid flashback. The “PsychideliBus” and “TrippyTrain” designs are loaded with tie-dye, paisley, and vintage design elements that scream San Francisco counterculture.

Concert Commute Hack

For the upcoming Dead & Company concerts at Golden Gate Park, Muni’s offering a sweet deal: free rides for concertgoers and these far-out themed vehicles to shuttle fans. With tickets running a cool $635 for the three-day series, at least your transit won’t break the bank.

Merch Alert

For the true fans, there’s even a limited edition tie-dye Muni t-shirt available for $25, because why just ride the bus when you can look like the bus? These unisex shirts are available in sizes from Small to 3X-Large, proving that psychedelic fashion knows no boundaries.

Whether you’re a die-hard Deadhead or just someone who appreciates municipal transit with personality, these buses are your ticket to a groovy ride through San Francisco’s most iconic musical landscape.
