The difference is that all the money is placed into E-ZPass's system. The transit agencies are looking to avoid managing a system. They want to use the same infrastructure as MasterCard and Visa. Highways/bridges/tunnels make money, so they can afford to build the infrastructure to collect and distribute money. NJT's issue with MetroCard style systems is the expense.NJT is the most practical of the regional agencies and the jump directly to accepting credit/debit cards is smart in my opinion. They do not have to create a network of pass distribution and eventually, they can eliminate the cash farebox all together. |
