Changes to MUNI Fast Pass Coming Soon

Clipper Card, the new card in town, is quickly making obsolete older forms of muni payment. Starting in November, anyone wanting  a “Type A” fast pass will need to replace their old paper card with a clipper card. I got my clipper card a few months ago and I have to say that as an occasional muni rider, I’ve found it very handy to keep stashed in my wallet. No longer do I need to worry about whether or not I have exact change, and it also means I don’t have to board from the front door of the train when the line is 6 people deep.

And while it might be entirely more practical, it probably signals the end of muni fast pass art:
