The March of Progress?

It used to be that I would get my Muni Fast Pass in the mail every month from WageWorks. I would open the envelope, study that month's color choices and discuss with Kelly whether the hues were pleasing. Then I would put it in my wallet and ride transit all month — no problems.



Now they're phasing out Fast Passes. So I've been mailed a WageWorks credit card that I have to activate, as well as a Clipper pass that also needs to be activated. Then I have to get money from one to the other. And if I use the Internet to transfer the funds, it takes three business days to process. (Isn't the Internet supposed to be instantaneous?)



Maybe I've officially become an old man, but this innovation seems less convenient. I miss my Fast Pass!
