Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Jul 3 12:08:13 2008, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Geneva MEGA Trolleybuses (75 ft long) & Others, posted by Hank Eisenstein on Thu Jul 3 11:52:05 2008. Fares are collected at each bus stop by a machine. You push a button on the machine located there to tell it how many zones you want to travel through, it tells you the fare, you pay in either Swiss Francs or Euros, and it gives you a receipt that is your POP. You then just board the bus. Each bus stop has a name, and they are announced as the bus travels between them. They are spaced fairly far apart, as is typical in European cities, but much further apart than you would find in the US. You may board or leave the bus from any door. Like on a light rail, when the bus stops, a button lights up indicating that the door can be opened, and you press it to open the door. At certain doors, if you are in a wheelchair, have a stroller, or need to do so for some other reason, there is a second button that you can press that will keep the door open longer than usual. |
