I see only 65% or so pay w/ MetroCard on my bus. As for Bills accepted the MTA would have to invest in new fareboxes on express buses. When we accepted bills a breif time after the takeover the MTA said it cost $1.25 per every $1 bill collected to ensure that it wasn't stolen & to count. The MTA doesn't physcally count coins they are sorted and weighed for the dollar amount. Bills ave to be sorted and counted. I don't see the MTA going through the trouble of investing in new farebox technology and changing it's proceedures anytime soon. |
