Muni Fast Pass Adult 2010 by jamesim on Flickr.
A small cache of SF Muni Fast Passes (2005-2011) to aid a casual study of urban wayfinding, social design processes and their influence on visual culture.
This was the last full year of SF Muni “fast pass” go-anywhere tickets on paper. (The same fare is still available, but only on the Clipper smart card.)
