Announcing a big update for ktransit.com. 714 photos were added to San Francisco area. This includes MUNI Metro, Streetcars, Trolley buses and Cable Cars. BART, SMART and CalTrain are there as well. A pretty good start to Kavanagh transit photos 20th year! ktransit.com/transit/NAmerica/uscalifornia/sfo.htm
As we enter Kavanagh Transit Photos 20 years on the web, and 18 years as ktransit.com, I hope to do a lot more updates. A large San Francisco area transit update with 714 new photos will be uploaded this week. Much more is coming: I hope to make more of the front end of the website responsive (sadly I don't think the actual photo pages will get there). After SF is loaded, I will focus on 2 new city additions: Birmingham, UK, and Hong Kong. Then there is London and Tokyo that have a lot of photos to be added. Later in 2019, expect a new continent to be added: Australia, with some New Zealand... It could be a big year for ktransit.com.
