Think you missed the colorful paper Fast Passes of yore? Wait until you see what Fast Passes looked like before the colorful stripe design. The San Francisco Public Library’s “Cussed and Discussed” show about Muni has some interesting old Fast Passes, including one with a pumpkin cutout, and another appropriate back-to-school theme.

axelfeldheim on Instagram took some photos of these old gems.

Ever wonder what’s really behind all the things Muni does that frustrate you? Christopher knows the answer.

I got a seat on the Muni underground today and for I think the first time ever I had a clear view of the tunnel as we traveled along. It was pretty cool, although annoying when we stopped because another train was going through the tunnel. Then I thought that maybe all of MUNI’s troubles are due to ghost trains coming and going all night and all day, and then I thought about how that would make for a new TV show.
