While others try to mansplain to you the problems with Muni, let us hypothesize what's really wrong with San Francisco's infamous public transit system: the every-changing color palate of the Fastpass. If we can get all Color Me Beautiful on you for a moment, don't you think Muni's problems stem from the Fastpass' revolving kaleidoscope of colors? Too garish, too much.

Now, let's take a look at this Muni Fastpass from 1981. So warm, so comforting. Very late '70s/early '80s afternoon disco pool party in Russian Hill.

And don't even get us started on the fonts. Chunky goodness.
