Muni Diaries

Ep 157: Meaghan and Ronald Mitchell on the people's railway (and its people)


Listen Later

Meaghan Mitchell returned to the Muni Diaries stage at our "Thank You, Driver" show with a loving tribute to her dad, 35-year Muni veteran Ronald Mitchell. She shares what it was like being raised by a Muni driver in '90s San Francisco, and what makes Muni more than a transit agency—and then invites Ronald to join her on stage.

Meaghan and Ronald remind us that our Muni operators are human, that they have families, and that they're on the front lines of our city's biggest challenges every day. And they ask us to keep on loving and riding Muni: as Ronald says, "There's nothing like the Municipal Railway."
