Private company express bus routes in NYC did make change for about a year or so after the 1969 exact fare rule on local buses. By 1971 the private express buses all required exact fares, with fareboxes that accepted coins, dollar bills, and paper tickets. The privates also accepted NYCTA tokens at their face value for all or part of the express fare.NYCTA and MABSTOA express bus routes always required exact fares in coins and/or tokens. When the base fare was 50 cents, and the express bus fare $1.50, three tokens, or six quarters, or a token and four quarters, etc. could be used to pay the fare. Later on, a special express bus token was used when the fare went up to $3 or $3.50. |
