Even in the 1950s, Muni 'Sucked'
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
Ever wonder how Muni used to clean buses before they stopped giving a shit? This right here is the 'Cyclone' Coach Cleaner, a 1958 bus/Burning Man Art Car that used to act as a giant vacuum:
This modified Motor Coach was used as an enormous vacuum cleaner to rid buses of litter left on board. Pulled along side another bus, the accordion-like seal was extended to the door and a powerful blast of air turned the bus interior into a literal cyclone of flying debris, saving hours of hand sweeping.
Uhhhhhh… rad.
