Readers in Action: Holiday Fast Pass Drive

Going Home for the Holidaze?
As the market tanks and layoffs loom, we're all tightening our belts. This means we can't be as generous with our holiday spirit. Well, we've found a simple way for riders to give back to the com-Muni-ty without spending a dime. Leaving town for the holidays and leaving a perfectly good transit ticket behind? Gift a ride by donating your used Muni Fast Pass! All passes will be collected and donated to local women's shelters - to help women who are seeking refuge gain transportation to and from a safe haven this holiday season. It's as easy as dropping off your Muni Fast Pass in the marked boxes at participating locations around San Francisco from December 10 through December 21. No matter how you're traveling this season, we Muni Ladies wish you smooth riding. As you leave town for the holidays, remember to donate your fast pass. It's the warm and fuzzy thing to do!

What a great idea! I know in the past when I was traveling more, I'd often have a monthly sitting on my desk at home while I was gone for 2 weeks, essentially wasted.

There are so many ways Passes could be managed better by both all of US and MUNI. I've been pushing for MUNI to do bulk sales to all the colleges and trade schools in the area so all students would have a bus pass and not have to drive so much.

Thanks, Greg! We Muni Ladies are really excited about the opportunity to give back - even when times are tough. Smooth riding!

Too bad it ends on the 21st. I'd have dropped off two of them the night of the 22nd, and they'd still be good for over a week. I guess I'll have to find someone else to give them to.
