Before there were blinking displays, Muni schedules were a chalk board affair. From Market Street Railway, here’s Muni’s first schedule, for the inbound A-Geary in 1912. If you look closely, you’ll see that the times are stated to the nearest half-minute.
Reader Tofu St. John has once again put old Fast Passes to creative use. He made a “Muni Mandala” with cut-up old colorful Fast Passes. You can check out his blog for more information on his other projects using Fast Passes. The “Muni Mandala” is available as a print and also as an iPhone case.
And if you want a new jacket for your Clipper card, don’t forget to check out our Fast Pass wallets at our Etsy store!
