Underground fashion
When I'm in New York killing time at Grand Central Station (I always meet people at the clock), I usually wander into the Transit Museum store and consider buying something. A t-shirt emblazoned with my line? Naah, overdone. An old two-tone token? Useless and hard to display. A subway map shower curtain? I already have a shower curtain that works just fine and looks like the opening credits of Coupling. The store has never done it for me.
But now the MTA is upgrading its fashion sense (if not the signaling system) by auctioning one of a kind designs with subway themes from top designers. If I had a lot of money, these might make a good gift. In the meantime, I'm waiting for WMATA to start selling a waffle iron that makes the pattern found on Metrorail station ceilings.

Great post! SFMUNI has not entered the merchandising world yet. But our underground system is pretty much a single line, and not worthy of putting on a shirt.
The waffle iron thing made me laugh.
