Flyer 2856 covered with graffiti, applied during the strike. AP 2001. Submitted by John Wollenzin, photographer unknown.

The graffiti application happened around the second day of the strike. Kind of makes San Fran MUNI look not too bad. Security guards are now patrolling all depots 24 hours a day. The damage was obviously done by vandals who have done this before. The damage is estimated around $130,000.
