Out with the old, in with the new

You may or may not know it, your colorful San Francisco Muni fast pass is going into the historic museum. Muni is now under the transition from paper fast pass to a blue, smart plastic card named "Clipper". All paper fast passes will be phased out by Spring of next year, according to SFMTA.

Some Muni Metro stations are building new fare-gates equipped with "Clipper" card readers, again, according to the SFMTA, when all the new Metro fare-gates are built, you'll no longer able to pay your fare in cash unless you have a "Clipper" card. However, you can buy a special ticket from the vending machine. (it may be something that looks like a current BART ticket)

So if you still have paper fast pass or still use it, don't throw it away, because it may become part of history.
