Ye Olde Fast Pass: 1983
Talia posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page! She says it was in a book, as an inadvertent donation to the Friends of the SF Library.
Note: fab color palette, historical reference to the Key System, and, um, $24.
For more historical Muni, head to our Muni Time Capsule. Send us pics of your own transit ephemera if you’ve got any.

Lots more info over on Streetsblog’s post. Check it out.

Sheryl snapped this one on the 44-O’Shaughnessy. Elle Woods understood the value of pink, and a lot of people around here do, too, but this is color-palette dedication.
