Cool New Muni Fast Pass Posters Feature Your Neighborhood

It’s no secret that everyone loves those colorful paper Fast Passes. It’s been a few years since they were taken out of regular use, but we found these great Muni posters by designer Brian Toth, who honors his favorite San Francisco neighborhoods in Fast Pass format.

We caught up with Brian to ask him why he created these posters.

The reason I created these was that, like most designers, I’m a huge fan of those old Muni passes. They are iconic, something I will always associate with San Francisco. I currently have a set of Muni Fast Passes from January, 2006, to January, 2011 hanging from my door in my apartment. I thought it would be interesting to use that familiar structure in the passes as a way to highlight some of the many neighborhoods in San Francisco

One of my favorite Muni lines has to be the 22-Fillmore. From Dogpatch to the Marina and all that’s in between, this line is one of my favorites. If you take the time to ride it from one end to the other you really get to see the many aspects of the city we all live in.

The last time the Adult paper Fast Passes were in use was in 2011. Take a look at all the different incarnations that the paper Fast Passes through the years!

When life hands you Clipper Cards, you make lemonade in the form of a Fast Pass pillow. (That’s how the saying goes, right?)

Beth alerted us to this DIY project by Susi on Just Crafty Enough. Susi’s friend designed and printed the Fast Pass-inspired textile, Susi made her own piping, and voila: a nifty modern accent.
