"Why are you downplaying when the transit agencies having a great opportunity right now for the future to collaborate in one smartcard fare media that works like credit card that will be accepted in many transit properties?"Simple. I don't think it should be their top priority right now. I understand why NJT needs to move now, but agencies with electronic fare collection right now need to hold off on buying anything major except buses and railcars. This isn't the right time. As it stands, the MTA is in very big trouble financially. It does not need to manage new big projects. It needs to take federal funds for NYCT and replace every pre-1996 bus it has...NOW. |
